Step-by-step explanation:
Factoring x2-5x-9
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1.
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5.
The last term, "the constant", is -9
Step-1: Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • -9 = -9
Step-2: Find two factors of -9 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5.
-9 + 1 = -8
-3 + 3 = 0
-1 + 9 = 8
Observation: No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion: Trinomial can not be factored
The equation at the end of step
1
:
x2 - 5x - 9 = 0
