Question

What is the factored form of this?
d^2 + 12d + 32

Answer 1

a + b = 12
a * b = 32

Answer 2

How do I factor it? I don't understand.

Answer 3

8 + 4 = 12
8 * 4 = 32

Answer 4

(d+8)(d+4)

Answer 5

(d+ a)(d+ b)

Answer 6

d^2 + 12d + 32. Factoring is likely solving the quadratic equation
d^2 + 12d + 32 = 0. When a = 1, the fastest way is using the Diagonal Sum Method. Both roots are negative. Compose factor pairs of c = 32. Proceeding: (-1, -32)(-2, -16)(-4, -8). This last sum is : -4 - 8 = -12 = -b. Then, the 2 real roots are: -4, and -8.
Factoring form: (d + 4)(d + 8).

Answer 7

Would d^2 - 12d + 32 = (d - 4) (d + 8) ?

Answer 8

Answer 9

Factor d^2 - 12d + 32
(d - 4) (d + 8) right?

Answer 10

yes
