Question

Factor this polynomial expression.

2 + 8x + 16
OA (x+3)(x + 2)
O B. (x - 3)(x - 2)
O C. (x + 4)(x + 4)
O D. (x-4)(x-4)​

Answer 1

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:
You have to distribute every number, you will end up with x^2+8x+16.

Answer 2

C

Explanation:

To factor x^2+8x+16, you have to find two numbers that add up to 8 and multiply to your constant, 16. 4 and 4 fit these requirements so you can factor them as (x+4)(x+4). Hope I explained it okay :)
