How to check the factoring problem.
Explanation of Solution
To check the factoring problem we just need to multiply the obtained factor of the given expression and checking that the product of the factors are equal or not equal to the given expression if the product of factor is equal to the given expression then, we can say that the given factors are of the given expression otherwise it is not.
Consider the example given below:
Given expression:
And given factors are
Multiplying the given factors,
Will generate the same results i.e., the given expression. This shows how factoring problems are checked.
