Factorize X^2 + 2sqrt3x - 24 - Mathematics

Factorize `x^2 + 2sqrt3x - 24`

Splitting the middle term,

`= x^2 + 4sqrt3x - 2sqrt3x - 24` `[∴ 2sqrt3 = 4sqrt3 - 2sqrt3 " also " 4sqrt3(-2sqrt3) = -24]`

`= x(x + 4sqrt3) - 2sqrt3(x + 4sqrt3)`

`= (x + 4sqrt3)(x - 2sqrt3)`

`∴ x^2 + 2sqrt3x - 24 = (x + 4sqrt3)(x - 2sqrt3)`
