Answer:
(x+3)(x-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 1x - 6
To factor basically any introductory quadratics, simply find what 2 numbers adds to -1 (the coefficient of the x term) and multiplies to 6.
-3 and 2 are such numbers/
-3 + 2 = -1
-3 * 2 = -6
(sometimes you may have to try different combinations in your head to figure out what number pair to use)
Next simply just put those numbers into the form (x-a)(x-b)
(x--3)(x-2)
negative times negative = positive so...
(x+3)(x-2)
This basically means that the quadratic intersects the x-intercept when x = -3 and 2
(-3,0) and (2,0)
