Question

Factorise x²-x+6 by splitting the middle term

Answer 1

Answer:

hey!

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -x -6

(now multiply the coefficient of the x^2 term and the constant)

(1*6=6)

now split x in such a way that we multiply the coefficients we get 6

x^2 +3x -2x -6=0

x( x+3) -2(x+3)=0

(x-2) (x+3)=0

now equate each term to 0

(x-2)=0

thus, x=2

(x+3)=0

thus, x=(-3)

thus... x= 2, (-3)

Answer 2

Answer:

x²-x+6

x²+2x-3x+6

x(x+2) -3(x+2)

(x+2) (x-3)

x+2 = 0

x = -2

; x-3 = 0

x = 3
