what is the factorization of the trinomial below -x^2+2x+48
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:Step-by-step explanation:In some fashion or another, the two factors are 6 and 8. But how are they put together?-(x^2 + 2x - 48)The 8 will be plus. That would make 2x plus. It should factor like this.-(x + 8)(x - 6)To check it, we should find the roots and post the graph. The graph will be upside down. That's what the minus outside the brackets does.x + 8= 0x = - 8=======x - 6 = 0x - 6 + 6 = 6x = 6
