Which are the factors of x2 + 5x – 24 ?
a)(x-6)(x+4)
b)(x+6)(x-4)
c)(x-8)(x + 3)
d)(x + 8)(x-3)
4

The factors of are option D

D) (x+8)(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To Find:

Factors of

Solution:

First remove the factors for -24 such that if you added you will get +5.

We will have 8 and -3

8 × -3 = -24

8 + (- 3) = 5

Now by splitting the middle term in the equation we get

no i do not : ( what is it?

12

step-by-step explanation:

12 + 5 = 17

12x2=24

24-7=17
