Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 - 17 x + 60

we should find two numbers such that their sum is equal to -17 and product is equal to 60

The two numbers are -12 and -5

now, x^2 - 12 x - 5 x + 60 { splitting the middle term }

x ( x- 12 ) - 5 ( x - 12 )

= ( x - 5 ) ( x - 12 )

hope this helps

Answer:

             x² - 17x + 60 = (x - 12)(x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]x^2-17x+60\quad \implies\quad a=1\,,\quad b=-17\,,\quad c=60\\\\x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x=\dfrac{-(-17)\pm\sqrt{(-17)^2-4\cdot1\cdot60}}{2\cdot1}=\dfrac{17\pm\sqrt{289-240}}{2}=\dfrac{17\pm\sqrt{49}}{2}\\\\x_1=\dfrac{17-7}{2}=5\quad,\qquad x_2=\dfrac{17+7}{2}=12\\\\\\x^2-17x+60=(x-5)(x-12)[/tex]

or:

    x² - 17x + 60 =

= x² - 12x - 5x +60 =

= x(x - 12) - 5(x - 12) =

= (x - 12)(x - 5)
