Question

Match each step with the correct expression to factor s2 + 78 + 6 by using the decomposition method.

Answer 1

We have the following:

`s^2+7s+6`

solving:

`\begin{gathered} \text{step 1} \\ s^2+s+6s+6 \\ \text{step 2} \\ s\mleft(s+1\mright)+6\mleft(s+1\mright) \\ \text{step 3} \\ (s+1)(s+6) \end{gathered}`
