Question

Which expression is equivalent to x^2+6x+8

Answer 1

Answer:

(x + 2)(x + 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor out the given expression to obtain an equivalent expression. In this case, find factors of x² and 8 that, when combined using FOIL, will result in 6x.

Use the FOIL method. FOIL, stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last:

First:

x * x = x²

Outside:

x * 4 = 4x

Inside:

2 * x = 2x

Last:

2 * 4 = 8

Combine like terms:

x² + 4x + 2x + 8

x² + (4x + 2x) + 8

x² + 6x + 8
