Question

a) Factorise x² + 5x + 6
b) Solve x ²+ 5x + 6 = 0​

Answer 1

Answer:

A) (x+2)(x+3)

B) x= -2 x=-3

Answer 2

Given equation is x²+5x+6 = 0

By splitting the middle term,

➝ x²+2x+3x+6 = 0

➝ x(x+2)+3(x+2) = 0

➝ (x+2)(x+3) = 0

➝ x+2 = 0 or x+3 = 0

➝ x = -2 or x = -3

The roots are -2 and -3

Hope this helps!!
