What is a factorization?

It is a method for dividing a polynomial into pieces that will be multiplied together. At this moment, the polynomial's value will be zero.

The quadratic equation is given below.

x² – 5x – 24 = 0

Then the factor of the equation will be

       x² – 5x – 24 = 0

x² – 8x + 3x – 24 = 0

x(x – 8) + 3(x – 8) = 0

       (x – 8)(x + 3) = 0

                          x = 8, -3

Then the correct option is D.
