In the given polynomial x2−17x+60,
The first term is x2 and its coefficient is 1.
The middle term is −17x and its coefficient is −17.
The last term is a constant term 60.
Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1×60=60.
We now find the factor of 60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is −17 and then factorize the polynomial x2−17x+60 as shown below:
x2−17x+60=x2−12x−5x+60=x(x−12)−5(x−12)=(x−5)(x−12)
Hence, x2−17x+60=(x−5)(x−12).
