Question

Factor the trinomial.
x2+11x+24

Answer 1

(x + 8)(x + 3)

Explanation:

Hey there!

Well in the polynomial,

x^2+11x+24

we need to find out what*what = 24

8*3 = 24

8x + 3x = 11x

x*x = x^2

Factored (x + 8)(x + 3)

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

(x + 3)(x + 8)

Explanation:

We're looking for two numbers that have a sum of 11 and product of 24; these numbers are 3 and 8 so the factored form is (x + 3)(x + 8).
