Answer 1

Answer:

Your input: factor x2+4x+3.

To factor the quadratic function x2+4x+3, we should solve the corresponding quadratic equation x2+4x+3=0.

Indeed, if x1 and x2 are the roots of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, then ax2+bx+c=a(x−x1)(x−x2).

Solve the quadratic equation x2+4x+3=0.

The roots are x1=−1, x2=−3 (use the quadratic equation calculator to see the steps).

Therefore, x2+4x+3=1(x+1)(x+3).

(x2+4x+3)=1(x+1)(x+3)
