(x + 8)(x - 6)
to factorise consider the factors of - 48 which sum to + 2
These are + 8 and - 6 thus
x² + 2x - 48 = (x + 8)(x - 6)
Answer:
Factors are (x-8) ( x+6).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : x²-2x -48 .
To find : Factors .
Solution : We have given x² -2x -48 .
Factories
x² + 6x -8x -48
Taking x common from first two term and - 8 from last two terms
x ( x +6) -8( x +6)
On grouping
( x -8)( x+6)
Therefore, Factors are (x -8) ( x +6) .
