Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression can be factored using the factors of 14, 2 and 7, which add to give 9.
x² -9x +14 = (x -2)(x -7)
One of the factors is (x -2).
Answer:
x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
To factorise the quadratic
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 14) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 9)
The factors are - 7 and - 2, since
- 7 × - 2 = + 14 and - 7 - 2 = - 9, thus
x² - 9x + 14 = (x - 7)(x - 2) ← in factored form
Thus (x - 2) is a factor of the expression
