Answer:

(m − 3) (m + 2)

Explanation:

m² − m − 6

To factor a quadratic ax² + bx + c, you can use the AC method.

1. Multiply a and c.

2. Find factors of ac that add up to b.

3. Divide the factors by a and reduce.

4. The denominators are the coefficients, the numerators are the constants.

Here, a = 1, b = -1, and c = -6.

1. ac = -6

2. Factors of -6 that add up to -1 are -3 and 2.

3. -3/1, 2/1

4. Factors are m − 3 and m + 2.

m² − m − 6 = (m − 3) (m + 2)
