Which is a factor of x^2-9x+14

x = 2 or x=7

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-9x+14 = 0

Now splitting the middle term we get,

x^2-7x - 2x + 14 = 0

x (x-7) - 2 (x-7) = 0

(x-2) (x-7) = 0

x-2=0 or x-7 = 0

x = 2 or x=7

Step-by-step explanation: 1. What are the factors of the last term, 14. are 2, 2. The factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, 14.

3. What two factors of 14 can I add to get the middle term of 9?

4. The answer is: 2 and 7

5 So the factored answer is (x+2) (x=7)
