Question

Factor the polynomial n^2 + 16n + 63.

A) (n + 7)(n + 9)
B) (n + 9)(n + 7)
C) (n + 8)(n + 8)
D) (n + 6)(n + 10)

Answer 1

To factor the polynomial n^2 + 16n + 63, the factored form is (n + 7)(n + 9).

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor the polynomial n^2 + 16n + 63, we look for two numbers that multiply to give 63 and add up to give 16. The numbers that satisfy these conditions are 7 and 9. Therefore, the factored form of the polynomial is (n + 7)(n + 9).
