Question

(c^2-2c-6)(c+5) simplify

Answer 1

Final result : (c2 - 2c - 6) • (c + 5) Step by step solution : Step  1  :Trying to factor by splitting the middle term 1.1     Factoring  c2-2c-6 

The first term is,  c2  its coefficient is  1 .
The middle term is,  -2c  its coefficient is  -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is  -6 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   1 • -6 = -6 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  -6  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -2 .
     -6   +   1   =   -5     -3   +   2   =   -1     -2   +   3   =   1     -1   +   6   =   5
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored Final result : (c2 - 2c - 6) • (c + 5)

Answer 2

Your answer will be  (c2-2c-6)*(c+5)
