Question

Use the table to identify the values of pand q that should be used to factor x2

- 3x - 10 as (x + p)(x + 9).​

Answer 1

A

p = -5 and q = 2 or p = 2 and q = -5

Explanation:

Technically, you don't need the table to help you out here. If you solely just factor out x²-3x-10, you would get (x-5)(x+2). So one variable would always have to be -5 and the other variable would always have to be 2.
