Question

What is the factorization of the trino Mila below -x^2 + 2x + 48

Answer 1

Answer:

-(x-8)(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

-x^2+2x+48

-(x^2-2x-48)

-(x-8)(x+6)

The trick is to find two numbers that when they multiply, you get the third term, which in this case, is -48. And when you add those two numbers, you get the second term, which is -2 in this case. The two numbers in this case are -8 and 6.
