Question

What is the factored form of x2 + 6x + 8?

Answer 1

Answer:

(x + 4)(x + 2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(x+4)(x+2)

You need to find something that multiplies to get 8, but adds up to equal 6.

4 x 2=8

4+2=6

so, the two numbers will be 4 and 2.

Since x^2 can be x and x, these will be in the polynomial as well.

So, the polynomial will be (x+4)(x+2)
