For this case we must factor the following expression:
[tex]m ^ 2-12m + 20[/tex]
To factor, we look for two numbers that, when multiplied, result in 20 and when added, result in -12.
These numbers are: -10 and -2.
[tex]-10-2 = -12\\-10 * -2 = 20[/tex]
Thus, we factor the expression as:
[tex](m-10) (m-2)[/tex]
Answer:
The factors of the given expression are:
[tex](m-10) (m-2)[/tex]
