Question

If one factor of x2 + 2x – 24 is (x+6), what is the other factor?

(x+8)
(x–8)
(x+4)
(x−4)

Answer 1

Answer:  Hence the answer is : (x-4)  

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The given polynomial is :

$x^2 +2x-24$

$x^2+6x-4x-24$

$x(x+6)-4(x+6)$

$(x+6)(x-4)$

So , one factor is (x+6) and another factor is (x-4)

Hence the answer is : (x-4)   :   Answer
