\[x^2+7x+12=(x+3)(x+4)\] can you go on from this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhhhh 0.o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Maybe a little more please lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't understand, really. Do I substitute or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand why x^2+7x+12=(x+3)(x+4)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 an 4 are roots of polynomial and you can always write polynomial as \[\left( x-x _{1} \right)\left( x-x _{2} \right)\] where x1 and x2 are roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understend this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area of rectangle is (width)*(height) from your drawing width is x+b and height is x+a so area = (x+a)(x+b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so this means that answar is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

IDK! Erggggg someone told me a is 2 and b is 6 but it just don't seem right to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

area =(x+3)(x+4)=(x+a)(x+b) this means that a and b are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 and 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there any part that you are confused about?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No. Now that I see it I feel hella dumb but I think I understand this now. Thank you
