Question

What are the factors of m^2-12m+20

Answer 1

(m-10)(m-2)

Explanation:

To factor a trinomial, you need to find 2 numbers that when they multiply, you get the third term. When you add them, you get the second term.

Answer 2

(m - 10)(m - 2)

Explanation:

We need 2 numbers whose product is + 20 and whose sum = -12. They are -10 and -2. These go into the 2 parentheses:

(m - 10)( m - 2).
