Question

Factor completely

6x^2-18x-60=??????​

Answer 1

Explanation:

6x^2 - 18x - 60 reducing it to a simplest form:

x^2 - 3x - 10

(x^2 - 5x) + (2x - 10)

x(x - 5) + 2(x - 5)

(x + 2)(x - 5)

Answer 2

6(x+2)(x-5)

Explanation:

This is factoring trinomials, so x^2+ bx+c. In order to this you need to find two integers whose product is c and whose sum is b. Rewrite the trinomial as x2 + rx + sx + c and then use grouping and the distributive property to factor the polynomial. The resulting factors will be (x + r) and (x + s).
