Question

Find out the common factor of x2 + 7x – 18 and x2 - 7x – 18.

  1. x + 9
  2. x – 2
  3. x – 9
  4. No common factor

The correct answer is: No common factor


    x2 + 7x – 18
    ¶Factors of -18 are 9 and -2.
    ¶9 + (-2) = 7
    ¶(x + 9) (x – 2)
    ¶x2 - 7x – 18
    ¶Factors of -18 are -9 and 2.
    ¶-9 + 2 = -7
    ¶(x – 9) (x + 2)
    ¶No common factor.
