Question

What is the factored form of the polynomial?

x² - 122+27?
(x + 4)(x + 3)
(x - 4)(x+3)
(x + 9)(x + 3)
O (x - 9)(x-3)

Answer 1

(x - 9)(x - 3).

Explanation:

x^2 - 12x + 27.

We need 2 numbers whose product is +27 and whose sum is -12.

They are -9 and -3 so the answer is:

(x - 9)(x - 3).

Answer 2

x^2-95
