Question

What is the factorization of the trinomial below?

Answer 1

B. $(x - 5)(x - 1)$ ✅

Step-by-step explanation:

${x}^{2} - 6x + 5 \\ \\ = \:{x}^{2} - 5x - x + 5$

Taking $x$ as common from first two terms and 1 from last two terms, we have

$=\: x(x - 5) - 1(x - 5)$

Taking the factor $(x-5)$ as common,

$=\:(x - 5)(x - 1)$
