O A. (x + 2)(x - 2)
B. (x - 1)(x-4)
O C. (x + 2)(x+4)
O D. (x + 1)(x + 4)

B. (x - 1) (x - 4)

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of zeros.

The zeros of a quadratic equation are the points where the graph of the quadratic equation crosses the x-axis.

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

By definition, the factored form of quadratic equations is basically their zeros.

STEP ONE: Find the zeros / x-intercept of the graph

The grid number is 2 per grid as 5 grids are 10 units.

The first intercept is between the y-axis and the first grid.

The second intercept is on the second grid.

STEP TWO: Plug the zeros into factorization form

Factor form = (x - x₁) (x - x₂)

x₁ = (1, 0)

x₂ = (4, 0)

Factorization of x² - 5x + 4 = (x - 1) (x - 4)
