In this video we'll follow a clear set of steps for writing the factors for the equation x^2 5x 6 = 0 We'll first write the skeleton form of the equatio0, and 2 The zero at x 2 is a turning point Solution Zeros 5x 5X7 x 7 o o x 2 o The factors are (5x 7), x, and (x — 2) The family of functions with the given zeros will be defined by Factors should be arranged in the order of multiplicity, unless one of the factors is x, in which case x should beThat is,the factored form of x 2 5x 6 would be of the form ()() Example 2 Factor x 2 5x 6 Solution Because the third term is positive and the middle term is negative, we find two negative integers whose product is 6 and whose sum is 5 We list the possibilities
