Factor the quadratic expression. x² – 8x+12

(x-6)(x-2)

Reasoning:

This is quite hard to explain but easy once you get it.

x^2 is equivalent to x times x, therefore (x- )(x- ).

Next you find what multiplies to 12 but adds or subtracts to -8

-6 times -2 = 12

-6-2=-8

It works out

(x-6)(x-2)

Explantion:

-6-2=-8

Hope this helps
