If you want to factor, find two numbers that multiply to 8 and add to 9

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what two numbers did you get?

How do you factor? I completely missed all of this in high school

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the two numbers 8 and 1 both add to 9 AND multiply to 8 so x^2 + 9x + 8 factors to (x+8)(x+1)
