Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4) x² - 14x + 48

We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is -14x and their product is 48x².

The two numbers are - 6x and - 8x. Therefore,

x² - 6x - 8x + 48

x(x - 6) - 8(x - 6)

(x - 8)(x - 6)

5) 2x² + 21x - 11

We would find two numbers such that their sum or difference is 21x and their product is - 22x².

The two numbers are 22x and - x. Therefore,

2x² + 22x - x - 11

2x(x + 11) - 1(x + 11)

(2x - 1)(x + 11)

6) 5a² - 125

5 is a common factor. So we would factorize 5. It becomes

5(a² - 25)

Simplifying further, it becomes

5(a + 5)(a - 5)
