Factor polynomial completely 64+16k+k^2

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

first put it in the right form so its less confusing

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

\[k^2+16k+64\]

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

ok since it says k^2 you start off like this. (k ) (k )

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

look at the right + sign. that means the symbols are gonna be the same. the left + sign says they are both gonna be positive,

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

so now you know (k+ ) (k+ ).

OpenStudy (ryan123345):

now its your turn. What two numbers multiply to 64 but add to 16?
