Question

Which trinomial(s) can be factored as (x + p)(a +9), where p and q are positive?

x^2 - x - 6
x^2 + x - 6
x^2 - x + 6

x^2 + 5x +6
x^2 - 5x +6
x^2 - 5x -6

Answer 1

• D. x² + 5x + 6

Explanation:

Trinomials can be factored as (x + p)(x + q), where both p and q are positive,

when both b and c are positive in:

• ax² + bx + c

One option is correct:

• x² + 5x + 6
