Choose the factorisation of \(6x^2-x-12\).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((3x+4)(2x-3)\)

The correct answer is A: \((3x+4)(2x-3)\). To check a factorisation, multiply the two binomials carefully. In A, the product is \(3x\cdot2x+3x(-3)+4(2x)+4(-3)=6x^2-9x+8x-12=6x^2-x-12\). Thus every term matches. Option B expands to \(6x^2-24x+3x-12=6x^2-21x-12\), so its middle coefficient is wrong. Option C gives \(6x^2-8x+6x-12=6x^2-2x-12\), also incorrect. Option D gives \(6x^2+9x-8x-12=6x^2+x-12\), whose middle term has the wrong sign. A useful method is to multiply the leading coefficients to obtain \(6x^2\), multiply the constants to obtain \(-12\), and then verify that the cross terms combine to \(-x\). Do not judge only by the numbers in the factors; the signs and cross terms must both be checked.
