Question

Factorired form of x² + 8 + 15​

Answer 1

Answer:

(x+3)/(x+5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

(x+5)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+8+15

Factoring is just like (x+_)(x+_)

1st step is multiply the 1st and the last term

x^2 x 15= 15x^2

Think 2 numbers that

a) when you multiply is equal to 15

b) when you add is equal to 8

The two numbers are 3 and 5

Rewrite the expression as x^2+3x+5x+15

Group the expression in two terms

(x^2+3x)+(5x+15)

Identify the common factor of the first binomial

x is the common factor of the first binomial

Write the binomial like this x(x+3)

The common factor of the second binomial is 5

5(x+3)

The expression now is x(x+3)+5(x+3)

Add the outside factors then copy the inside factors(if equal)

(x+5)(x+3)

Therefore, the factored form is (x+5)(x+3)
