Question

Which of these represents one of the factors of the function r(x) = x² – 5x+6?

O A
(x+3)
O B. (x-3)
O C. (x-6)
O D. (x + 6)

Answer 1

B. (x-3)

Explanation:

Factorise the equation with suitable values.

In order to get 6 from x²-5x+6,

as an example, use the numbers 3 and 2.

We will get to factorise it to become (x-3)(x-2)

Based on the choice answers given, the answer is B. (x-3)
