	d)	(x + 11)(x + 4)
which one is it?

anonymous · Answer

you must of typed the wrong questoin...  no possible way to factor unless you go into the imaginary plane.

anonymous · Answer

don't think you can factor completely

anonymous · Answer

you can but it will be in terms of i...  no big deal really

anonymous · Answer

your right csevgf but I don't think at his level they're using I plane

anonymous · Answer

how about this  
-(x+11)(x-4)

gw2011 · Answer

None of the choices given  are the answer.  Spcifically:

a)  (x-11)(x-4)  The middle term becomes -15x which is not -7x
b)  (x+11)(x-4)  The middle term becomes +7x which is not -7x
c)  (x-11)(x+4)  The last term becomes -44 which is not +44
d)  (x+11)(x+4)  The middle term becomes +15x

Therefore, none of the choices that were given is a solution.
