Question

the factor of x^2 - 5x +6 are ( x-2) ( x- p) then the value of " p" is​

Answer 1

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = x^2 -5x +6

Product = 6

Sum = -5

So the numbers are -3 and -2

p(x) = x^2 - 5x +6

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

= x ( x -2) - 3 (x-2)

= (x - 3) (x - 2)

That is p = 3
