Question

What are the factors of x^2 - 5 + 6
a. (x-6) and (x + 3)
b. (x + 2) and (x + 3)
c. (x + 6) and (x - 3)
d. (x - 2) and (x - 3)

Answer 1

Try to multiply each of the options together :)

Answer 2

Or if you can, try to name two numbers that times up to \(6\) and adds up to \(-5\) :)

Answer 3

what you want to do is find somethin that when added together equal -5 and when multiplied equal positive 6

Answer 4

2 * 3 = 6 & -10 + 5

Answer 5

Therefore 2 negatives equal a positive so D is your final answer

Answer 6

they must be the same number...

Answer 7

like \(xy=6\) and \(x+y=-5\)

Answer 8

-3-2=-5 and -3*-2=6

Answer 9

So your final answer is D
