Question

Factorize x^2 - x - 156​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given :-

x² - x - 156

To Do :-

Factorize the given expression.

Solution :-

⤳ x² - x - 156

~By middle term splitting.

⤳ x² - 13x + 12x - 156

⤳  ( x² - 13x ) + ( 12x - 156 )

~ Factor out x in the first and 12 in the second group.

⤳  x( x - 13 ) + 12( x - 13 )

~Factor out common term ( x - 13 ) by distributive property.

⤳  ( x + 12 )( x - 13 )

⠀⠀⠀━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Henceforth, the factorized form of the given expression is ( x + 12 )( x - 13 )
