Question

What model represents the factors of x2+9x+8?

Answer 1

The area of a  rectangle with length x + 8 and width x + 1.

Answer 2

(x+8) and (x+1) represents the length and width

Explanation:

x^2+9x+8

To find the model that represents the factor we need to factor x^2 +9x+8

product is 8

sum is +9

1*8= 8

1+8 =9

x^2 +9x+8

(x+8)(x+1)

Area of the rectangle = length * width

so x+8 is the length

x+1 is the width
