Which expression has an equivalent value to x² + 9x + 8 for all values of x?
O(x + 1)(x+8)
O(x + 2)(x+6)
O(x+4)(x+4)
O(x+5)(x+4)

Answer 1

A. is the correct answer

Answer 2

We can solve this problem by factoring the quadratic expression x² + 9x + 8.

To factor this quadratic expression, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 8 and add up to 9. These numbers are 1 and 8.

Therefore, we can write x² + 9x + 8 as (x + 1)(x + 8).

So the answer is (x + 1)(x+8) because it is equivalent to x² + 9x + 8 for all values of x.
