a+b=-13 ab=42
To solve the equation, factor x^{2}-13x+42 using formula x^{2}+\left(a+b\right)x+ab=\left(x+a\right)\left(x+b\right). To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
-1,-42 -2,-21 -3,-14 -6,-7
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is negative, a and b are both negative. List all such integer pairs that give product 42.
-1-42=-43 -2-21=-23 -3-14=-17 -6-7=-13
Calculate the sum for each pair.
a=-7 b=-6
The solution is the pair that gives sum -13.
\left(x-7\right)\left(x-6\right)
Rewrite factored expression \left(x+a\right)\left(x+b\right) using the obtained values.
x=7 x=6
To find equation solutions, solve x-7=0 and x-6=0.
a+b=-13 ab=1\times 42=42
To solve the equation, factor the left hand side by grouping. First, left hand side needs to be rewritten as x^{2}+ax+bx+42. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
-1,-42 -2,-21 -3,-14 -6,-7
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is negative, a and b are both negative. List all such integer pairs that give product 42.
-1-42=-43 -2-21=-23 -3-14=-17 -6-7=-13
Calculate the sum for each pair.
a=-7 b=-6
The solution is the pair that gives sum -13.
\left(x^{2}-7x\right)+\left(-6x+42\right)
Rewrite x^{2}-13x+42 as \left(x^{2}-7x\right)+\left(-6x+42\right).
x\left(x-7\right)-6\left(x-7\right)
Factor out x in the first and -6 in the second group.
\left(x-7\right)\left(x-6\right)
Factor out common term x-7 by using distributive property.
x=7 x=6
To find equation solutions, solve x-7=0 and x-6=0.
x^{2}-13x+42=0
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
x=\frac{-\left(-13\right)±\sqrt{\left(-13\right)^{2}-4\times 42}}{2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 1 for a, -13 for b, and 42 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-13\right)±\sqrt{169-4\times 42}}{2}
Square -13.
x=\frac{-\left(-13\right)±\sqrt{169-168}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 42.
x=\frac{-\left(-13\right)±\sqrt{1}}{2}
Add 169 to -168.
x=\frac{-\left(-13\right)±1}{2}
Take the square root of 1.
x=\frac{13±1}{2}
The opposite of -13 is 13.
x=\frac{14}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{13±1}{2} when ± is plus. Add 13 to 1.
x=7
Divide 14 by 2.
x=\frac{12}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{13±1}{2} when ± is minus. Subtract 1 from 13.
x=6
Divide 12 by 2.
x=7 x=6
The equation is now solved.
x^{2}-13x+42=0
Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by completing the square. In order to complete the square, the equation must first be in the form x^{2}+bx=c.
x^{2}-13x+42-42=-42
Subtract 42 from both sides of the equation.
x^{2}-13x=-42
Subtracting 42 from itself leaves 0.
x^{2}-13x+\left(-\frac{13}{2}\right)^{2}=-42+\left(-\frac{13}{2}\right)^{2}
Divide -13, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{13}{2}. Then add the square of -\frac{13}{2} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-13x+\frac{169}{4}=-42+\frac{169}{4}
Square -\frac{13}{2} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
x^{2}-13x+\frac{169}{4}=\frac{1}{4}
Add -42 to \frac{169}{4}.
\left(x-\frac{13}{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{1}{4}
Factor x^{2}-13x+\frac{169}{4}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x-\frac{13}{2}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{13}{2}=\frac{1}{2} x-\frac{13}{2}=-\frac{1}{2}
Simplify.
x=7 x=6
Add \frac{13}{2} to both sides of the equation.
