Solve x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0 using the quadratic formula.

•  x = 4 and -1

• x = -4 and -1

• x = 4 and 1

• x = -4 and 1

Solve by completing the square:
k² − 12k + 23 = 0

• {6 + √13, 6 - √13}

• {-6 + √13, -6 - √13}

• {6 + √59, 6 - √59}

• {-6 + √59, -6 - √59}

Solve using the Quadratic Formula:

x² + 4x + 3 = 0

• x = 1 and x = 3

• x = 6 and x = -2

• x = -1 and x = -3

• x=-1 and x=3

Solve
x² + 2x - 24 = 0

• x = -6, x = 4

• x = 6, x = -4

• x = 12, x = -2

• x = 8, x = -3
