Question

Brendan factor a quadratic trinomial as shown. Which statement is true about Brandan‘s work (HURRY PLEASE)

Answer 1

Given:

Given that Brendan factored a quadratic trinomial.

The equation is $x^{2} +5x-6$

The factored form is $(x-1)(x-5)$

We need to determine the statement that is true about Brendan's work.

Factoring the quadratic trinomial:

The statement that is true about Brendan's work can be determined by factoring the given expression.

Thus, we have;

$x^{2} +5x-6$

Splitting the middle term, we have;

$x^{2} -x+6x-6$

Grouping the terms, we have;

$(x^{2} -x)+(6x-6)$

Factoring the terms, we have;

$x(x -1)+6(x-1)$

$(x+6)(x-1)$

Therefore, the complete factor of the quadratic polynomial is $(x+6)(x-1)$

Hence, Brendan made a mistake. The correct factored form is $(x+6)(x-1)$

Thus, Option A is the correct answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

Brendan made a mistake. The correct factored form is (x + 6)(x − 1).
