Question

Write each expression as the product of two binomials x2 - 5x + 6.. how do I do it ? not just the answer..

Answer 1

(x-3)(x-2)

Answer 2

Not just the answer pleasee I really need to learn this ..

Answer 3

x^2 -3x-2x+6=0
x(x-3)-2(x-3)=0
(x-2)(x-3)=0

Answer 4

oh no need of that zero as you are not finding the value of x

Answer 5

How did you get the last one the (x - 2)(x - 3) ?

Answer 6

and how do you know when its positive and negative?

Answer 7

x-3 we take common and rest is x-2 :)

Answer 8

its pretty much finding the two numbers whos product equals 6 abnd whose sum is -5

Answer 9

Thank youu so muchh guys :)

Answer 10

coefficient of 'x' is sum of two numbers i.e -5 here and '+6' is the product part so accordingly we put the -ve and +ve signs

Answer 11

Ohhh I was just looking at it and I kept trying to figure out where the 5 had went but it took from the 6..

Answer 12

Ohh noo.. actually you added a 2x that wasnt supposed to be on there..

Answer 13

we just split the middle term

Answer 14

try remembering it like this x^2-Sx+P , where S = sum of two numbers and P= Product of two numbers ..

Answer 15

sorry x^2+Sx+P

Answer 16

wait what are you trying to figure out

Answer 17

Uff I feel dumb it all looks chinese and im trying to Write each expression as the product of two binomials x2 - 5x + 6

Answer 18

lol nah i was a little confused with what diya said too lmao

Answer 19

oh sorry if i made you confused

Answer 20

Nooo its okayy im easily confused.. its not your fault at alll your just trying to help me so thank youu :)

Answer 21

factoring is hard to explain its like a puzzle finding which numbers fit the best

Answer 22

welcome.. if u want i'll TRY to explain it to u again :)
this is the way we learnt ..

Answer 23

Lol yes it looks hard to explain and yes pleasee :)

Answer 24

the first thing is finding numbers that multiply to form 6 examples: 2 times 3, 1 times 6

Answer 25

but the problem is you have to arrange one of those pairs of numbers so it add up to to equal the middle term -5

Answer 26

Yes its easy for me to find the numbers I just dont know the order of where the numbers go

Answer 27

first try to factor the product part
for example here its 6
factors of 6 are ,1,2,3,6

then take two suitable numbers which will give you the sum

Answer 28

-1 x 6 ? would that equal -5 right

Answer 29

no -1 * 6 = -6

Answer 30

I know multiplied equals 6
but added it equals 5 ?

Answer 31

the middle term..

Answer 32

so you get -2 and -3 though right is that what your saying not sure

Answer 33

we have to see the product too if u take -1 and 6 it will give you product ' -6 ' and sum 5 ...we need -5 as sum and +6 as product

Answer 34

Ohhh okayy I understand :) after we get the numbers where do they go ?

Answer 35

we write those numbers in the middle .. -2x + -3x = -5x

Answer 36

=x^2 -3x-2x+6

Answer 37

Ohhh I see how you got the first part of the equation now

Answer 38

x(x-3)-2(x-3) this part ?

Answer 39

noo the one you just said lol.. how do you get that part ?

Answer 40

lol too much to read lmao sorry guys im doing my math hw in btw lol

Answer 41

u split the middle term that is -5 with the numbers u just got by factorising the product part i.e 6

Answer 42

* middle term is" -5x "

Answer 43

lala if you want email me: pyrrolysinesynthesis@gmail.com

Answer 44

so we write it as sum of those numbers u got ..
-5x = -2x + -3x

got it ?

Answer 45

Yes..

Answer 46

if u didn't then tell me ok :)

so u get the equation x^2 -3x-2x+6

Answer 47

yes I understood that but I thought you were explaining the next part so I was trying to figure out how it applied .. Lol.. but I got everything so far :)

Answer 48

ok

x^2 -3x-2x+6
next part.. we 1st consider first two terms x^2 -3x and take the common out ..so we get " x(x-3)
then take the last two terms -2x + 6 take the common out ..so we get -2(x-3)

got it ? :D

Answer 49

and we write it together

Answer 50

as x(x-3)-2(x-3

Answer 51

??

Answer 52

sorry my comp stopped working for a second

Answer 53

but yes I understand how you got thatt

Answer 54

Thank youu soo muchh by the way :D If I could give you 78592 medals I would Lol. i understand the proccess now.. now I just have to practice it on the other problems I have for hw

Answer 55

oh you are most welcome :D lala
All the Best :)
