Question

factorise 18x²-24x-10
by middle term splitting​

Answer 1

Question : Factorise the function 18x²-24x-10

Solution :

Given that : f(x) = 18x²-24x-10

We will factorise the given f(x) by splitting the middle term :

f(x) = 18x² - 24x - 10

=> 18x² - 30x + 6x - 10

=> 6x(3x - 5) + 2(3x - 5)

=> (3x - 5)(6x + 2)

So, the factors of the function 18x²-24x-10 are (3x - 5) and (6x + 2)

Answer 2

Answer:

=18x²-30x+6x-10

=6x(3x-5)+2(3x-5)

=(3x-5) (6x+2)

so the ans. of 18x²-24x-10 is 3x-5 or 6x+2
