Solve m^2-5m-14=0

Evaluate

m^{2} - 5 m - 14 = 0

Factor the expression

More Steps

(m - 7) (m + 2) = 0

When the product of factors equals 0,at least one factor is 0

m - 7 = 0 m + 2 = 0

Solve the equation for m

More Steps

m = 7 m + 2 = 0

Solve the equation for m

More Steps

m = 7 m = - 2

Solution

m_{1} = - 2, m_{2} = 7

Solve the quadratic equation
