Question

According to the graph, what is the factorization of x2 - 6x + 5?

A. (X - 5)(x - 1)
B. (x + 5)(x - 1)
C. (X - 5)(x + 1)
D. (x + 5)(x + 1)​

Answer 1

A. (x - 5)(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 6x + 5

ax² + by + c

What 2 numbers give a product of 5 (a * c) and a sum of -6 (b)?

-5, -1 ---> -5 + -1 = -6, (-5) * (-1) = 5

x² - 6x + 5 = (x - 5)(x - 1)

Does that help?

Answer 2

the answer is A (×-5)(×-1)
