Question

What is the factored form of x^2-x-20​

Answer 1

Answer:

(x+4)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x²-x-20

But ax² + bx +c

product = ac = 1 × -20 = -20

sum = b = -1

Factors are: -5,4( numbers if you multiply you get -20 and sum to get -1)

Therefore:

x²-5x+4x-20

x(x-5)+4(x-5)

(x+4)(x-5)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-5x+4x-20

x(x-5)+4(x-5)

(x-5)(x+4)
