Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which expression represents the factored form of x^2 + 5x + 6?
  • Step 1: Identify the expression you want to factor, which is x^2 + 5x + 6.
  • Step 2: Look for two numbers that add up to the coefficient of x (which is 5) and multiply to the constant term (which is 6).
  • Step 3: The two numbers that work are 2 and 3 because 2 + 3 = 5 and 2 * 3 = 6.
  • Step 4: Write the factored form using these two numbers: (x + 2)(x + 3).
