the factored form of x2 - 9x +14 
(x-2)*(x-7) 
so the answer is B.(x-2)

frika

Factorize the quadratic trinomial \(x^2 - 9x + 14\) by the rule:

\(ax^2+bx+c=a(x-x_1)(x-x_2), \text{ where } x_1,\ x_2 \text{ are its roots. }\)

1. Find the roots:

\(D=(-9)^2-4\cdot 14=81-56=25,\ \sqrt{D}=5,\\
\\ x_1=\dfrac{9-5}{2}=2,\ x_2=\dfrac{9+5}{2}=7.\)

2. Factorize the polynomial:

\(x^2 - 9x + 14=(x-2)(x-7).\)

3. Only factor x-2 is given in options, then the correct choice is B.
