Question

Which of the following isn't a factored form of xy−3x−2y+6?

A) (x−2)(y−3)
B) (x−6)(y+1)
C) (x+3)(y−2)
D) (x+2)(y−6)

Answer 1

Option B) (x−6)(y+1) is not a factored form of xy−3x−2y+6.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which of the given options is not a factored form of the expression xy−3x−2y+6, we can expand each option to check if it matches the given expression:

A) (x−2)(y−3) = xy−2x−3y+6
B) (x−6)(y+1) = xy−6x+y−6
C) (x+3)(y−2) = xy+3x−2y−6
D) (x+2)(y−6) = xy+2x−6y−12

Comparing the expanded forms with the given expression, we can see that option B) (x−6)(y+1) is not a factored form of xy−3x−2y+6.
