A student claims that the factorisation of \(x^2-9x+20\) is \((x-10)(x+2)\). Identify the error and choose the correct factorisation.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((x-5)(x-4)\)

We need two factors of \(20\) whose sum is \(-9\): \(-5\) and \(-4\). Thus, \((x-5)(x-4)=x^2-9x+20\). The student's factors give constant term \(-20\), not \(+20\). Exam tip: verify both the middle and constant terms.
