Question

what is the factorization of the Trinomial
-X^2+2X+48

Answer 1

divide the negative so u would get x^2-2x-48
u have to find 2 numbers when u multiply them gives u -48 but when u add them is -2
u end up with (x-8)(x+6)
because when u multiply -8 nd 6 u get -48
when u add -8 nd 6 u get -2

answer: (x-8)(x+2)
