Question

Y=x^2+6x+8 solve by factoring.

Answer 1

To factor the equation y = x^2 + 6x + 8, we can use the method of finding the factors of the constant term (8) that add up to the coefficient of the x term (6).

In this case, the factors of 8 are 1 and 8, and -1 and -8. But only -1 and -8 add up to 6, so we can factor the equation as:

(x + 8)(x + 1) = 0

So the solutions are x = -8 and x = -1.
