Question

write each expression as the product of two binomials

x^2+5x+6




x^2+5x-6





x^2+9x+20




2y^2+5y-3




Can someone please explain how to do this?
Not just the answer :)

Answer 1

All it means is factor the expression. I will do the first, you try the rest.

x^2+5x+6 = x^2 + 2x + 3x + 6 = x(x + 2) + 3(x + 2) = (x + 2)(x + 3)
