What is x^2- 4x- 12 using diamond method ?

The answer is
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
+
6
)
Determine what two numbers when added together make the coefficient of
x
, in this case
4
, and when multiplied together make the constant, in this case
−
12
. For this problem, the two numbers are
6
and
−
2
.
6
+
(
−
2
)
=
4
, and
6
×
(
−
2
)
=
12
.
The factorization of
x
2
+
4
x
−
12
=
(
x
−
2
)
(
x
+
6
)
.
