({x}^{2}-x-6)(x+1)(x2−x−6)(x+1)

2

 



Factor {x}^{2}-x-6x2−x−6.

(x-3)(x+2)(x+1)(x−3)(x+2)(x+1)

Answer 2

Answer:

• B. (x−3)(x+2)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Possible options are 1 or 2 as each has odd number of negative coefficients.

Open parenthesis and verify:

• (x+3)(x+2)(x−1) = ³ + 4x² + x - 6, false
• (x−3)(x+2)(x+1) = x³ - 7x - 6, true
