Answer 2

Answer:

The second step is to take the common factors outside the parentheses.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the trinomial $x^2-5x-36$

we have to find the factors or we have to tell the second step in the process for factoring the trinomial which is given.

$x^2-5x-36$

⇒ $x^2-9x+4x-36$

⇒ $x(x-9)+4(x-9)$

⇒ $(x+4)(x-9)$

therefore, the second step is to take the common factors outside the parentheses.
