Question

Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial?х2 - 10х- 39​

Answer 1

Answer:

(x - 13) and (x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 10x - 39

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 39) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 10)

The factors are - 13 and +3, since

- 13 × 3 = - 39 and - 13 + 3 = - 10, thus

x² - 10x - 39 = (x - 13)(x + 3) ← in factored form
