Question

Factorise by splitting middle term
x²-5x-6​

Answer 1

• Let us try factorizing this polynomial using splitting the middle term method. Factoring polynomials by splitting the middle term: We need to find two numbers 'a' and 'b' such that a + b =5 and ab = 6. Thus, x+3 and x+2 are the factors of the polynomial x2 + 5x + 6.

Answer 2

 x² - 5x -6

= x² - 6x + x - 6

= x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6)

= (x + 1)(x - 6)
