How many solutions does the equation have?
x2+10x+9=0
Let's observe that the given equation:
x2+10x+9=0is a quadratic equation that can be solved using quick factoring:
x2+10x+9=0⟷{?⋅?=9?+?=10↓(x+1)(x+9)=0and therefore we get two simpler equations from which we can extract the solution:
(x+1)(x+9)=0↓x+1=0→x=−1x+9=0→x=−9x=−1,−9and therefore the given equation has two solutions,
Thus, the correct answer is answer B.
