Question

factorise 2x^2 - 5/6 x + 1/12​

Answer 1

Answer:

splitting the middle term method

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^{2} -\frac{5}{6}x + \frac{1}{12}$

By breaking the term $-\frac{5}{6}$ into two parts such that when those parts are added then the answer is -5/6 and the product is 2* 1/12= 1/6

Hence we break $-\frac{5}{6} into -\frac{2}{6} and -\frac{3}{6}$

and by grouping we get this:

$(x-\frac{1}{6} )(2x - \frac{1}{2} )$
