When an expression is written in product form, it is said to be factored. When factored, each of the expressions being multiplied is called a factor. For example, the factored form of t - 15x + 26 is (x – 13)(x-2), so x– 13 and x-2 are each factors of the original expression.

Yes (x – 13), (x-2) are both factors of the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiplying both factors will give the original equation

factorisation is the reverse of multiplying out.

Furthermore factorization is one of the methods used to solve quadratic problems

Others are graphical solutions and formula method

38.6°

step-by-step explanation:

resultant is 10 pound

smaller force = 8 pound

angle formed = tan⁻¹(

                        =tan⁻¹(

                          =tan⁻¹(0.8)

                        =38.6°
