Question

(6) The qaudratic equation x2 – 5x – 6= 0 if expressed as (x + p) (x + q) = 0 then value of p and q respectively are __________ and ___________ .​

Answer 1

Answer:

p = -2      ;      q  =   -3

Step-by-step explanation:

x² -5x -6  =0

x² - 2x - 3x -  6   =   0

x ( x -2) - 3 ( x - 2 ) = 0

( x  -  2 ) (x  -   3)  = 0

On comparing with ( x +p) (x+q)=0,

p = -2      ;      q  =   -3

Answer 2

Answer:

(x+1)(x-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

X2-5x-6

X2-x(6-1)-6

X2-6x+x-6

X(x-6)+1(x-6)

(x+1)(x-6)
