Question

Use the following trinomial to answer the questions. x^2-6x-27 When going through the process of determining the factors, the two factors need to : add up to ___ multiply to ___

Answer 1

Answer:

The factors are 3 and -9

Step-by-step explanation:

The given trinomial is $x^2-6x-27$.

We need to find two factors. We know that,

3(9) = 27

So,

$x^2-6x-27$ can be written as :

$x^2+3x-9x-27$ as two factors add up to get -6 and multiply to get -27.

Hence, the factors are 3 and -9.
