Factorize the following
$x^{2} - 9 x + 14$

Open in App

Solution

$x^{2} - 9 x + 14$

To factorize we have to find $p$ and $q$ such that $p q = 14$ and $p + q = - 9$

$x^{2} - 9 x + 14$

$= x^{2} - 2 x - 7 x + 14$

$= x (x - 2) - 7 (x - 2)$

$= (x - 2) (x - 7)$

$x^{2} - 9 x + 14 = (x - 2) (x - 7)$
