Factorize: x2 + 5x + 6

1.	Factorize: x2 + 5x + 6
Answer» Given, x² + 5x + 6 Now first find the numbers whose- Sum = 5 and Product = 6 Required numbers are 2 and 3, So we get; x² + 5x + 6 = x² + 2x + 3x + 6 = x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = (x + 2)(x + 3)

Answer»

Given,

x² + 5x + 6

Now first find the numbers whose-

Sum = 5 and

Product = 6

Required numbers are 2 and 3,

So we get;

x² + 5x + 6

= x² + 2x + 3x + 6

= x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2)

= (x + 2)(x + 3)
