1. Which of the following is the solution set of the equation x2-2x-15 = 0 Solution: Think of factors of the last digit that when subtracted gives the coefficient of the middle term In this case, -15 can only be (3, -5), (-3, 5), (15, -1) or (-15, 1). Among these factors, (3, -5) is the only one whose sum will be equal to -3. So the solution set of the equation will be X-5=0; x1 = 5 X+3=0; x2 = -3 Alternative Solution: By trial and error (best when using your calculator), try each...
