Answer 2

In order to factorise an algebraic expression we have two methods :

• Using Algebraic Identities
• Splitting the middle term.

Here , we are gonna use the second method !!

Solution :

$\mathtt{ {x}^{2} - 5x - 6} \\ \mathtt{ {x}^{2} - 6x + 1x - 6} \\ \mathtt{x(x - 6) + 1(x - 6)} \\ \mathtt{(x - 6)(x + 1)}$

Additional Information :

• In order to factorise x² + bx + c we have to find numbers p and q which are factors of c and even p + q = b or p - q = b
• After finding p and q we just split the middle term as px and qx and find the required the terms needed !!
