What is this expression in factored form?<br> x^2+13x+42
Allushta [10]

Answer and explanation:

x^{2} + 13x + 42

(x + 6)(x + 7)

List the multiples of 42

42: 1  2  3  6  7  14  21  42

Then see which of the multiples add up to 13

1 x 42 = 42 --> 1 + 42 \neq 13

2 x 21 = 42 --> 2 + 21 \neq 13

3 x 14 = 42 --> 3 + 14 \neq 13

6 x 7 = 42 --> 6 + 7 = 13
