<h3>
Answer: (x+1)(x+3)</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
Let's assume it factors into (x+a)(x+b)
The goal is to find the two numbers a and b.
FOIL out (x+a)(x+b) to get x^2+(a+b)x+ab
Note how a+b is the middle term and ab is the last term.
In the original expression, 4 is the middle term and 3 is the last term.
So we need to find two numbers that
There are two ways to multiply to 3 and they are
- 1 times 3 = 3
- -1 times -3 = -3
But only the first way has the factors add to 4. So that means a = 1 and b = 3.
Therefore (x+a)(x+b) = (x+1)(x+3)
And x^2+4x+3 = (x+1)(x+3)
125 = 6 dimes = 60 and 13 nickles = 65
60+65= 125

The height of a tree is 10
10
meters long and it grows 1
1
cm in a year.
Then its height after one year = 10
10
meters 1
1
cm
Its height after 3
3
years = 10
10
meters 3
3
cm
Its height after 6
6
years = 10
10
meters 6
6
cm
Its height after x
x
years = 10
10
meters x
x
cm
Where x
x
represents an unknown number. From the last line, we can find height of the tree after a certain number of years by taking x
x
equal to that number. For example, we simply let x=15
x
=
15
, 25
25
and 55
55
. Thus, the value of x
x
depends on our choice. We can give x
x
any value or number we want. In other words, the value of x
x
is not fixed, it varies from one situation to the other. Therefore, we call x
x
a variable whereas 10
10
is a fixed number whole value does not change. So 10
10
therefore is called a constant.
