Question

Which is a factor of x2 – 9x + 14? x – 9 x – 2 x + 5 x + 7

Answer 1

$x^2-9x + 14 = \boxed{\bf{(x-2)(x-7)}}$

Your answer is x - 2.

Answer 2

Answer:

(B) $(x-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

$x^2-9x+14$

Factorizing the above equation, we get

=$x^2-7x-2x+14$

=$x(x-7)-2(x-7)$

=$(x-2)(x-7)$

which is the required simplified factorized form.

Thus, (x-2) is the correct factor from the given options.

Therefore, option (B) is correct.
