Question 970073: factor x^2 - 11x + 24
Answer by Boreal(15235)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! This has a negative middle term and a positive constant end term
It must have the form
(x - ) * (x - )
I need factors of 24 that add to 11
24 and 1; 12 and 2; 6 and 4 don't work
8 and 3 do work
(x-8)* (x-3) ANSWER
Foil it out
x^2 -8x -3x +24 = x^2 -11x +24
