7 owlbucks if you are level 50 and below and can answer the following question. What are the factors of \( x^2+ 4x + 4 \) The first one with the right answer gets the owlbucks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay.. so do you know how to factor trinomials?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try to factor by splitting the middle term... Factoring x^2+4x+4 The first term is, x2 its coefficient is 1 . The middle term is, +4x its coefficient is 4 . The last term, "the constant", is +4 Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 4 = 4 Step-2 : Find two factors of 4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 4. What do you think you should do next?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am just looking for the factors. I know the answer but just trying to let others earn some owlbucks that might not get a chance. :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you can give me the factors the owlbucks are yours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh okay give me a few moments

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x + 2)^2 is the final factorization.. is this correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can provide the step-by-step process if you'd like :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is good enough :-)
