12. Let's factor x2−9x+8
x2−9x+8
The middle number is -9 and the last number is 8.
Factoring means we want something like
(x+_)(x+_)
Which numbers go in the blanks?
We need two numbers that...
Add together to get -9
Multiply together to get 8
Can you think of the two numbers?
Try -1 and -8:
-1+-8 = -9
-1*-8 = 8
Fill in the blanks in
(x+_)(x+_)
with -1 and -8 to get...
(x-1)(x-8)
15. Let's solve your equation step-by-step.
(x−2)(x−3)=2
Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.
x2−5x+6=2
Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides.
x2−5x+6−2=2−2
x2−5x+4=0
Step 3: Factor left side of equation.
(x−1)(x−4)=0
Step 4: Set factors equal to 0.
x−1=0 or x−4=0
x=1 or x=4
Sorry I wasn't able to do 13 and 14 but hope this helps! :)
