Question

factorise : x² - 5x - 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

Factor x^2+5x-6. x2 + 5x − 6 x 2 + 5 x - 6. Consider the form x2 + bx+c x 2 + b x + c. Find a pair of integers whose product is c c and whose sum is b b. In this case, whose product is −6 - 6 and whose sum is 5 5. −1,6 - 1, 6.

Answer 2

Answer: -

x^2 - 5x -6

=> x^2 + x - 6x -6

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

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

Therefore,

x - 6 = 0

x = 6

or

x + 1 = 0

x = -1

Hence, Solved
