<h3>
Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
Answer:
Correct amnswer is A

Answer:
125 = 5 * 5 * 5 = 5^3
Step-by-step explanation:
125 is equal to 5 times 5 times 5, and a power is a way to write repeated multiplication, just by saying what number it is and the putting a ^ sign and then saying how many times there is that number. There is 5 three times, so the power is 5^3.
You can use this to help you. label the triangle like the picture and use the equations. I hope this helps.
