f(x)=x^2+5x-6 I'm stuck, please help me!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1x^2+5x-6=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+ )(x+ ) I think the factors are -3,2 but it's not working out!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the factors are actually 6 and -1 because for the middle term or the 5 to be there something that multiplies together to make the -6 has to add up to equal the 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I didn't even think of that...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+6)(x-1) don't know how I missed it, thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its no problem, glad i could help
