Question

which is a factor of x squared -9x+14

Answer 1

Factors are (x-7) and (x-2)

OR

x = 7 and x=2

Further explanation:

Given polynomial is:

$x^2-9x+14$

In order to find the factors of the polynomial we have to factorize it.

For factorization, the co-efficient of x is chosen and its factors are made that sum up to the constant value in the polynomial.

So,

$x^2-9x+14\\= x^2-7x-2x+14\\=x(x-7)-2(x-7)\\=(x-7)(x-2)$

The factors are:

$x-7 = 0\\x = 7\\AND\\x-2 = 0\\x=2$
