(i) 6x2+5x-6
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = 5 and product = 6×-6 = -36
We get -4 and 9 as the numbers [-4+9 = 5 and -4×9 = -36]
6x2 + 5x - 6 = 6x2+9x–4x–6
= 3x(2x+3)–2(2x+3)
= (2x+3)(3x–2)
(ii) 3x2–x–4
Using the splitting the middle term method,
We have to find a number whose sum = -1 and product = 3×-4 = -12
We get -4 and 3 as the numbers [-4+3 = -1 and -4×3 = -12]
3x2–x–4 = 3x2–x–4
= 3x2–4x+3x–4
= x(3x–4)+1(3x–4)
= (3x–4)(x+1)
