Solución
To solve the quadratic equation by factoring:
\[
z^{2} + 2z - 15 = 0
\]
1. **Factor the quadratic:**
We look for two numbers that multiply to **-15** and add up to **2**. These numbers are **5** and **-3**.
\[
z^{2} + 2z - 15 = (z + 5)(z - 3) = 0
\]
2. **Find the solutions:**
Set each factor equal to zero:
\[
z + 5 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad z = -5
\]
\[
z - 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad z = 3
\]
**Answer:**
**A. The solution set is \( \{-5, 3\} \).**

Simplifique esta solución Beyond the Answer
To solve the equation \( z^{2}+2z-15=0 \) by factoring, we need to find two numbers that multiply to \(-15\) (the constant term) and add up to \(2\) (the coefficient of \(z\)). The numbers \(5\) and \(-3\) satisfy these conditions. Thus, we can factor the equation as: \[ (z + 5)(z - 3) = 0 \] Setting each factor equal to zero gives us the solutions: \[ z + 5 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad z = -5 \] \[ z - 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad z = 3 \] Therefore, the solution set is \(\{-5, 3\}\). A. The solution set is \(\{-5, 3\}\\).
