Solution
To
factorise
x
2
-
11
x
-
42
,
we
will
find
two
numbers
p
and
q
such
that
p
+
q
=
-
11
and
pq
=
-
42
.
Now
,
3
+
(
-
14
)
=
-
22
and
3
×
(
-
14
)
=
42
Splitting
the
middle
term
-
11
x
in
the
given
quadratic
as
-
14
x
+
3
x
,
we
get
:
x
2
-
11
x
-
42
=
x
2
-
14
x
+
3
x
-
42
=
(
x
2
-
14
x
)
+
(
3
x
-
42
)
=
x
(
x
-
14
)
+
3
(
x
-
14
)
=
(
x
+
3
)
(
x
-
