Factorised form of p2 – 17p – 38 is(a) (p – 19) (p + 2) (b) (p

1.	Factorised form of p2 – 17p – 38 is(a) (p – 19) (p + 2) (b) (p – 19) (p – 2)(c) (p + 19) (p + 2) (d) (p + 19) (p – 2)
Answer» (a) (p – 19) (p + 2) Factorised form of p² – 17p – 38 is = p² – 19p + 2p – 38 Take out the common factors, = p (p – 19) + 2 (p – 19) Again take out the common factor, = (p – 19) (p + 2)

Factorised form of p2 – 17p – 38 is(a) (p – 19) (p + 2) (b) (p – 19) (p – 2)(c) (p + 19) (p + 2) (d) (p + 19) (p – 2)

Answer»

(a) (p – 19) (p + 2)

Factorised form of p² – 17p – 38 is = p² – 19p + 2p – 38

Take out the common factors,

= p (p – 19) + 2 (p – 19)

Again take out the common factor,

= (p – 19) (p + 2)
