Question

factorise
x^2-(a+b)x + ab
give me answer step by step otherwise I will report

​

Answer 1

x²-(a+b)x+ab=0

=x²-ax-bx+ab =0

=x(x-a)-b(x-a)=0

=(x-b)(x-a)=0

x-b=0

x=b

x-a=0

x=a

here your answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

(x-a)(x-b)

Step-by-step explanation:

using identify

${x}^{2} + (a + b) x + ab = (x + a)(x + b) \\ {x}^{2} + ( - a + (- b))x + ( - a)(- b) \\ therefore \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ (x - a)( x - b)$

hope it helps...
