Which of the following is a factor of x^2+x-30?

(x + 6)(x - 5)
OPTION b.

B

The polynomial factors into (x+6)(x-5)

x^2 + x - 30
= (x + 6)(x - 5)

∴ the answer is b.

b.x+6

the factors are
(x-5) and (x+6) since by multiplying

(x-5)(x+6) = x^2 + x -30

x^2+6x-5x-30
x(x+6)-5(x+6)
(x+6)(x-5)

so, the ans is (x+6)

x^2+x-30

=> x^2 + 6x -5x -30
= x(x+6) - 5(x+6)
= (x-5)(x+6) are the factors

so the correct ans is 'b'

hi!

b
