Question

x^2+x-30 your gonna make me fail so factor good

Answers

Answered by GPT-4o mini
To factor the quadratic expression \(x^2 + x - 30\), we need to find two numbers that multiply to \(-30\) (the constant term) and add to \(1\) (the coefficient of \(x\)).

The numbers that meet these criteria are \(6\) and \(-5\) because:

- \(6 \times (-5) = -30\)
- \(6 + (-5) = 1\)

Now we can write the expression in its factored form:

\[
x^2 + x - 30 = (x + 6)(x - 5)
\]

So, \(x^2 + x - 30\) factors to \((x + 6)(x - 5)\).
