Which is the factorisation of \(x^2+5x+6\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((x+2)(x+3)\)

Answer: B, \((x+2)(x+3)\). For a monic quadratic \(x^2+bx+c\), look for two numbers whose sum is the coefficient of x and whose product is the constant term. Here we need numbers with sum 5 and product 6. The numbers 2 and 3 satisfy both conditions: \(2+3=5\) and \(2\times3=6\). Therefore, \(x^2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3)\). Option A gives middle coefficient 7 and constant 6, so it expands to \(x^2+7x+6\). Option B expands to \(x^2+3x+2x+6=x^2+5x+6\), so it is correct. Option C gives \(x^2-5x+6\), with the wrong sign in the middle term. Option D gives \(x^2+11x+30\), so both its middle and constant terms are wrong. Memory cue: for \((x+p)(x+q)\), add p and q for the middle coefficient and multiply them for the constant term.
