Which of the binomials below is a factor of this trinomial? x^2 + 2x - 48

(x + 8)(x - 6)

to factorise consider the factors of - 48 which sum to + 2

These are + 8 and - 6 thus

x² + 2x - 48 = (x + 8)(x - 6)

Factors are (x-8) ( x+6).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : x²-2x -48 .

To find : Factors .

Solution : We have given x² -2x -48 .

Factories

x² + 6x -8x -48

Taking x common from first two term and - 8 from last two terms

x ( x +6) -8( x +6)

On grouping

( x -8)( x+6)

Therefore, Factors are (x -8) ( x +6) .

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
