\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Which of the following is the correct factorization of (x2 - x - 6) ?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a.(x-3)(x+2)
\n" ); document.write( "b.(x+3)(x-2)
\n" ); document.write( "c.(x+3)(x+2) - I picked
\n" ); document.write( "d.(x-3)(x-2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The answer (c) you picked is incorrect. When you FOIL you get
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 5x + 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The correct answer is (a). \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You get x^2 - x - 6\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Choice (d) you get x^2 - 5x + 6.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You must be very careful with signs (-) and (+) when factoring.\r
