Question

The diagram represents the factorization of a2+8a+12. A 2-column table with 2 rows. First column is labeled a with entries a squared, 2 a. Second column is question mark with entries 6 a, 12. First row is labeled a with entries a squared, 6 a. Second row is labeled 2 with entries 2 a, 12. What is the missing number that will complete the factorization? 6 8 12 24

Answer 1

Answer:

(A)6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic expression: $a^2+8a+12$

We factorize:

$a^2+8a+12=a^2+6a+2a+12\\=a(a+6)+2(a+6)\\=(a+2)(a+6)$

Therefore, the missing number that will complete the factorization is 6.
