factor(x^{2}-10x+11)
Combine c and -c to get 0.
x^{2}-10x+11=0
Quadratic polynomial can be factored using the transformation ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right), where x_{1} and x_{2} are the solutions of the quadratic equation ax^{2}+bx+c=0.
x=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±\sqrt{\left(-10\right)^{2}-4\times 11}}{2}
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
x=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±\sqrt{100-4\times 11}}{2}
Square -10.
x=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±\sqrt{100-44}}{2}
Multiply -4 times 11.
x=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±\sqrt{56}}{2}
Add 100 to -44.
x=\frac{-\left(-10\right)±2\sqrt{14}}{2}
Take the square root of 56.
x=\frac{10±2\sqrt{14}}{2}
The opposite of -10 is 10.
x=\frac{2\sqrt{14}+10}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{10±2\sqrt{14}}{2} when ± is plus. Add 10 to 2\sqrt{14}.
x=\sqrt{14}+5
Divide 10+2\sqrt{14} by 2.
x=\frac{10-2\sqrt{14}}{2}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{10±2\sqrt{14}}{2} when ± is minus. Subtract 2\sqrt{14} from 10.
x=5-\sqrt{14}
Divide 10-2\sqrt{14} by 2.
x^{2}-10x+11=\left(x-\left(\sqrt{14}+5\right)\right)\left(x-\left(5-\sqrt{14}\right)\right)
Factor the original expression using ax^{2}+bx+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right). Substitute 5+\sqrt{14} for x_{1} and 5-\sqrt{14} for x_{2}.
x^{2}-10x+11
Combine c and -c to get 0.
