Question

Which of the following represents the factorization of the trinomial below?

X2 - 2x - 48
ANSWER

Answer 1

(X+6)(x-8)

Explanation:

Answer 2

`\implies {\blue {\boxed {\boxed {\purple {\sf { \: (x + 6)(x - 8)}}}}}}`

`\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\red{Step-by-step\:explanation}}{\red{:}}}}}`

`{x}^(2) - 2x - 48`

`= {x}^(2) - 8x + 6x - 48`

Taking
`x` as common from first two terms and 6 from last two terms, we have

`=x \: ( \: x - 8 \: ) + 6 \: ( \: x - 8 \: )`

Taking the factor
`(x-8)` as common,

`= (x + 6)(x - 8)`

`\large\mathfrak{{\pmb{\underline{\orange{Mystique35 }}{\orange{❦}}}}}`
