Question

Factorise 17) 6-x-x^2​

Answer 1

Answer:

6-x-x²

-x²-3x+2x+6

-x(x+3)+2(x+3)

(x+3)(-x+2)

Answer 2

Answer:

(2-x),(3+x) are factors of given quadratic expression 6-x-x²

Explanation:

Given quadratic expression:

6-x-x²

Splitting the middle term, we get

= 6 - 3x +2x - x²

= 3(2-x) + x(2-x)

Take (2-x) common, we get

= (2-x)(3+x)

Therefore,

6-x-x² = (2-x)(3+x)
