Answer:

(x - 9)(x + 7)

Explanation:

Given

x² - 2x - 63

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 63) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term, that is

numbers that multiply to give - 63 and add to give - 2

The factors are - 9 and + 7 , since

- 9 × 7 = - 63 and - 9 + 7 = - 2 , then

x² - 2x - 63 = (x - 9)(x + 7) ← in factored form
