Question

Factor x2-15x+50 , please help with the factoring

Answer 1

(x-5)(x-10)

Explanation:

The last term in the polynomial is positive, so the signs of the constants in the binomial factors are the same. Because the linear term is negative, those signs are negative.

Determine the two negative numbers whose product is 50 and whose sum is −15.

Answer 2

So, let me show you how to do factoring.
First, multiply the first and last number. You get 50x².
So, find the multiples in 50 that add up to -15.
So, the two multiples that multiply to 50 are -10 and -5. Here's why:
-10×-5=50
-10-5=-15
So, you get the final factored form as:
(x-5)(x-10)
