a) x2 + x - 12 = x2 - 3x + 4x - 12 = x(x - 3) + 4(x - 3) = (x - 3)(x + 4)
b) x2 - x - 12 = x2 + 3x - 4x - 12 = x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) = (x + 3)(x - 4)
c) x2 - 9x + 20 = x2 - 4x - 5x + 20 = x(x - 4) - 5(x - 4) = (x - 4)(x - 5)
d) x2 + 9x + 20 = x2 + 4x + 5x + 20 = x(x + 4) + 5(x + 4) = (x + 4)(x + 5)
a,x^2+x-12=x^2-3x+4x-12
=x(x-3)+4(x-3)
=(x-3)*(x+4)
b) x2 - x - 12 = x2 + 3x - 4x - 12 = x(x + 3) - 4(x + 3) = (x + 3)(x - 4)
