Verified Answer :

n² + 2n – 24=0
n² + 6n-4n – 24=0
n(n + 6) – 4(n+6)=0
(n+6)(n-4)=0
Hence,
n=4
or
n=-6

Answer:

Option (d) is correct.

The solution of given quadratic equation \(n^2+2n-24=0\) is 4 and -6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation \(n^2+2n-24=0\)

We have to solve using factorization.

Consider the given quadratic equation \(n^2+2n-24=0\)

We can solve the quadratic equation using middle term splitting method,

Split the middle term in such a away that the product of term gives the product of coefficient of two other terms.

Thus, 2n can be written as 6n-4n,

We have \(n^2+2n-24=0\)

\(\Rightarrow n^2+6n-4n-24=0\)

Taking n common from first two term and -4 common from last two terms, we have,

\(\Rightarrow n(n+6)-4(n+6)=0\)

taking (n + 6) common, we have,

\(\Rightarrow (n-4)(n+6)=0\)

Using , zero product property ,

\(a\cdot b=0 \Rightarrow a=0 \ or\ b=0\)  we have,

\(\Rightarrow (n+6)=0\) or \(\Rightarrow (n-4)=0\)

On simplify, we have,

\(\Rightarrow n=-6\) or \(\Rightarrow n=4\)

Thus, the solution of given quadratic equation \(n^2+2n-24=0\) is 4 and -6.

Option (d) is correct.
