The given trinomial can be factored using the factorization method.
x² - 2x - 24
The middle term should be written is such a way that the sum of two terms is equal to the middle one and their product should be equal to the product of first and third term. So the above expression can be written as
= x² -6x + 4x - 24
= x(x-6) + 4(x-6)
= (x-6)(x+4)
Thus, (x-6)(x+4) is the factored form of the polynomial.
So the correct answer is option B
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
I think x=-2
Answer:
when you have something like f(x)=... that means
f means function
and every time you see an x or the variable in the parenthesis you plug in for that so it's f(x) =3x+1 then f(2)= 3x+1 every time you see x you plug in 2
