Question

What is the factorization of the trinomial below?

x2 - 6x + 5
O A. (X - 4)(x - 2)
O B. (X - 5)(x - 1)
O C. (x + 4)(x - 2)
O D. (x + 5)(x - 1)

Answer 1

B.
`(x - 5)(x - 1)` ✅

Step-by-step Step-by-step explanation:

`{x}^(2) - 6x + 5 \\ \\ = \:{x}^(2) - 5x - x + 5`

Taking
`x` as common from first two terms and 1 from last two terms, we have

`=\: x(x - 5) - 1(x - 5)`

Taking the factor
`(x-5)` as common,

`=\:(x - 5)(x - 1)`
