Question

Help! Factor the expressions. x2 + 62x + 120 =

Answer 1

(X+60)(x+2) is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

(x + 60)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 62x + 120

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 120) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 62)

The factors are + 60 and + 2, since

60 × 2 = 120 and 60 + 2 = 62, thus

x² + 62x + 120 = (x + 60)(x + 2)
