Question

factorise X ^2 + 10 X + 16​

Answer 1

Answer:

(x + 8) (x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

To factorize,

x² + 10x + 16

Solution :

By splitting the middle term into two parts,

and taking variables and constants as common in braces,

We get,

⇒ x² + 10 x + 16

⇒ x² + 8x + 2x + 16    ∵ splitting the middle term)

⇒ x(x + 8) + 2(x + 8)   ∵ taking variables & constants as common in braces,

⇒ (x + 2) (x + 8)
