Question 899930
I am working on this question and need help on it..

Which of the following is the correct factorization of (x2 - x - 6) ?

a.(x-3)(x+2)
b.(x+3)(x-2)
c.(x+3)(x+2) - I picked
d.(x-3)(x-2)


The answer (c) you picked is incorrect. When you FOIL you get
x^2 + 5x + 6


The correct answer is (a). 

You get x^2 - x - 6


Choice (d) you get x^2 - 5x + 6.


You must be very careful with signs (-) and (+) when factoring.



Answer:

(a)
