Explain how you would factor the following equation: f(x) = xy - 5y - 2x + 10

Mathematics

Levart [38]3 years ago
3 0

xy - 5y - 2x + 10 \\ y(x - 5) - 2(x - 5) \\  (x - 5)(y - 2)

So, F(X) = ( X - 5 ) ( Y - 2 )

When you wanna factor out some equation, try to spot things that are similar. Factoring is always a process of trial and error, but as you get more experience it will just get easier.

For example, in your question when you see y appear in many terms try to factor it out, and then produce what goes inside parenthesis.
