Question

Factorise 2 + 6 + 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

4 to the power 2 is the answer

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that: x

2 +6x+8 =x

2 +4x+2x+8, (split middle term)=(x 2+4x)+(2x+8), (group pair of terms)

=x(x+4)+2(x+4), (factor each binomials)

=(x+4)(x+2), (factor out common factor (x+4)

Hence factors of x

2

+6x+8 are (x+4)(x+2)
