Which is the correct factorised form of the equation \(3x^2-11x+6=0\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \((3x-2)(x-3)=0\)
Expanding \((3x-2)(x-3)\) gives \(3x^2-9x-2x+6=3x^2-11x+6\), so option A is correct. Option C expands to \(3x^2-9x+6\), whose coefficient of \(x\) is incorrect. In an exam, expand the factors to check both the middle term and the constant term.
