Question

F(x)=x^2+6x+8 in factored form

Answer 1

F (x) = x^2 + 6x+8 = F = x + 6 +
`(8)/(x)`

Explanation:

Move all the expressions to the left side of the equation.

F(x)−x2−6x−8=0

Multiply F by x.

Fx−x2−6x−8=0

Move all terms not containing F to the right side of the equation.

Fx=x2+6x+8

Divide each term by x and simplify.

F = x + 6 +
`(8)/(x)`

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The quadratic factors into (x + 4)(x + 2) When you remove the brackets, you get

x^2

2x

4x

8

They are all added and the 2x and 4x combine to get 6x.
