The factors of the quadratic expression x² - 4x - 21 is <u>(x - 7)(x + 3)</u>, making the <u>first option</u> the right choice.

A quadratic expression is of the form ax² + bx + c, which can be factorized using the mid-term factorization method, where b is shown as the sum or difference of two such numbers, whose product is equal to the product of a and c.

In the question, we are asked to factorize the quadratic expression, x² - 4x - 21.

In the given expression, a = 1, b = -4, and c = -21.

Thus, ac = -21.

The numbers having a product 21 are:

1*21 = 21,

3*7 = 21.

Since, 3 - 7 = -4 (That is b), we break b into 3 and -7.

Thus, the expression can now be shown as:

x² - 4x - 21

= x² + (3 - 7)x - 21

= x² + 3x - 7x - 21

= x(x + 3) - 7(x + 3) {By taking common}

= (x - 7)(x + 3) {By taking common}.

Thus, the factors of the quadratic expression x² - 4x - 21 is <u>(x - 7)(x + 3)</u>, making the <u>first option</u> the right choice.

Answer:

36 + 16 √3

Explanation!

You would first need to simply the radical by breaking the radicand up into a product of known factors!

So the answer would be 36 + 16 √3

If you want decimal form here you go! :)
