Im thinking it's between B and C?

OpenStudy (btaylor):

You're not quite right. The first thing I would do is factor out a -1, since that is no fun to work with. Then you are left with \(-(x^2+x-6)\). The next step is to ask yourself, what two numbers multiply to -6 and add to +1?

-6? @BTaylor

OpenStudy (btaylor):

-6 because you factored out the -1. So, \(a \times b = -6\) and \(a + b=1\). Find a and b.
