Answer:
1.1 Factoring x2-2x+5
The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -2x its coefficient is -2 .
The last term, "the constant", is +5
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 5 = 5
Step-2 : Find two factors of 5 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -2 .
-5 + -1 = -6
-1 + -5 = -6
1 + 5 = 6
5 + 1 = 6
