Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the factored form of the expression x^2 - 5x + 6?
  • Step 1: Identify the expression you want to factor, which is x^2 - 5x + 6.
  • Step 2: Look for two numbers that multiply to the constant term (6) and add to the coefficient of the x term (-5).
  • Step 3: The two numbers that work are -2 and -3 because -2 * -3 = 6 and -2 + -3 = -5.
  • Step 4: Write the factored form using these two numbers. It will be (x - 2)(x - 3).
