Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The factorization of x² - 5x + 6 can be determined thinking critically about two numbers, that if we multiply those two numbers together it will result into a value of +6 and if we add those numbers together , we will have -5
The numbers are -3 and -2 ; if we multiply -3 and -2 , we have = 6
If we add -3 + (-2) ; we have,
-3-2 = -5
Now the factorization of
x² - 5x + 6 = 0 is as follows.
x² - 3x - 2x + 6
By factorization,
x(x - 3) - 2 (x - 3) = 0
(x - 2) or (x-3) = 0
Now, using An algebra tile configuration. The diagrammatic expression showing how an algebraic tile configuration should looks like can be found in the attached image below.
Hint:
Let represent ,
1 = x² tile
-5 = - x tiles
6 = 1 tiles
