Question

x2-5x-50 Factor the following polynomial ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sum= -5

product= -50

numbers= -10 ,5

thus the factors are 10 and -5 ( by splitting the middle term)

Answer 2

Answer:

(x+5), (x-10).

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 -5x-50

= x^2 -10x +5x - 50...... since -10x +5x = -5x

=(x^2 -10x)+ (5x - 50)

= x(x- 10) + 5(x - 10)......since by taking x and 5 common in group respectively

=(x-10)(x+ 5)

Therefore, x^2 - 5x - 50 has factors (x+5) and (x-10).
