Question

Which of the following represents the factorization of the trinomial below?

Answer 1

Answer: d

Step-by-step explanation:

This a trinomial so to find the factorization you need just to solve this equation :

• x²-2x-48=0

1. a=1
2. b=-2
3. c=-48

• Δ=(-2)²-4*1*(-48)=196
• so our trinomial has 2 solutions :
• $\left \{ {{y=\frac{2+\sqrt{196} }{2} } \atop {x=\frac{2-\sqrt{196} }{2} }} \right.$

x=8 and y=-6

the factorisation is  f(x)=a* (x-8)(x-(-6))

       the answer is : (x+6) (x-8)

Answer 2

Answer: (x-8)(x+6)

Step-by-step explanation: For this equation, you need to figure out what two numbers add up to add -2, and multiply to get -48.

These numbers are +6 and -8. So the factored pair will be (x+6)(x-8)

Hope this helps:)
