What is the factorization of the trinomial below x2-6x+5

x² - 6x + 5 = (x - 1) (x - 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given an expression in variable x

x² - 6x + 5

To find the factors using splitting method

x² - 6x + 5 = x² - x - 5x + 5

= x (x - 1) - 5 (x - 1)

= (x - 1) (x - 5)

Therefore the factors of x² - 6x + 5 are

(x - 1) and (x - 5)
