Question

9)

What is the complete factorization of x2 + 4x-45?
OA (x + 15)(x-3)
OB. (x- 9)(x + 5)
OC. (x + 9)(x - 5)
OD. (x - 15)(x+3)​

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

x^2+4x-45

(x+9)(x-5)

since 4x is positive, the larger factor of 45 needs to be positive

that's why the 5 is negative

when solving problems like this, just find two factors of the last number that add up to the middle number

then throw them in parenthesis with an x

Answer 2

Hi,

x2 + 4x − 45 can be factorized to (x + 9)(x - 5).

the correct answer is C (x + 9)(x - 5).
