Question

1 The trinomial x? - X-6 can be factored as the product of 2 linear factors, in the form (x + a)(x + b). What is the polynomial sum of these 2 factors? A, 2x - 1 B. 2x + 1 C. 2x - 5 D. 2 x + S E. 2.x = 6 geo

Answer 1

`x^2-x-6=(x-3)(x+2)^{}`
`(x-3)+(x+2)=x-3+x+2=2x-1`

the answer is 2x-1
