This question requires solving a quadratic equation with positive and negative roots.
\( \text{Solve: } x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 \)
Select all correct options:
Consider the signs carefully. Verify each solution by substitution into the original equation.
Factor \(x^2 - 2x - 8\) as \((x-4)(x+2)=0\). Roots satisfy \(x-4=0\) or \(x+2=0\), giving \(x=4\) or \(x=-2\).
