Question

FACTRISE: x²-6x-16
$x²-6x-16$
​

Answer 1

x² - 6x - 16 = 0

x² - 8x + 2x - 16 = 0

x (x - 8) +2 (x - 8) = 0

(x - 8) (x + 2) = 0

x - 8 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

x = 8 or x = -2

Answer 2

$= {x}^{2} - 6x - 16$

$= {x}^{2} - (8 - 2)x - 16$

$= {x}^{2} - 8x + 2x - 16$

$= x(x - 8) + 2(x - 8)$

$= (x - 8)(x + 2)$
