Q1  Solution:

x = 3 or x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-2x-3 = 0

In order to solve the quadratic equation by factoring, we have to determine two numbers whose sum is -2 and their product -3. By trial and error the two numbers are found to be; -3 and 1. The next step is to split the middle term by substituting it with the above two numbers found;

x²+x-3x-3  =  0

x(x+1)-3(x+1)  = 0

(x-3)(x+1) = 0

Finally we apply the zero Product Property :

If ab = 0 then a  = 0 or b  = 0

This implies;

x-3= 0 or x+1 = 0

x = 3 or x = -1 are the solutions to x²-2x-3 = 0
