Step-by-step explanation: Got It right on plato.
Have A good rest of your day.
I think you forgot the graph. Please add it.
10 because if you minus 170 from 10 it would still be less than 99
a² + 10a + 16
Find two numbers whose product equals 16 and sum equals 10:
<u>Product = 16</u> <u>Sum = 10</u>
1 * 16 1 + 16 = 17 <em>doesn't work</em>
2 * 8 2 + 8 = 10 THIS WORKS!
4 * 4 4 + 4 = 8 <em>doesn't work</em>
Since 2 & 8 satisfy our requirements, those are the values that go into the parentheses.
Answer: (a + 2)(a + 8)
Note: when there is a coefficient for a², a different method is used to find the factors.
