Question

Factor x^2-11x-12

Answer 1

(x-12)(x+1)

Answer 2

how?

Answer 3

make the calcule and will see it

Answer 4

The two factors need to add to -11 and multiply to -12. -12 and 1 do that.

Answer 5

x^2 -12x +x -12 = x^2 -11x -12

Answer 6

x^2-11x-12
x^2-12x+1x - 12
x(x-12)+1(x-12)
(x-12)(x+1)

Answer 7

We have
\[x^2-11x-12\]
Let's find factors of -12, which add up to -11
those are -12 and 1
-12+1=-11
let's rewrite the equation
\[x^2-12x+x-12\]
take out x common from the first two terms, and 1 from the last two
\[x(x-12)+1(x-12)\]
so
we get the two factors as
\[(x-12)(x+1)\]
