factorize the following algebraic expressions. x²+10x+21
Answers
x²+10x +21
Using splitting the middle term,
= x²+7x +3x +21
= x(x+7) +3(x+7)
= (x+3) (x+7)
Hence the two factors are: x+3 and x+7..
hope it helps you.. ;)
Good evening
Answer: (x+ 3)(x+ 7) is the solution
(x+ 3)(x+ 7) = x²+10x+21
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Make the skelton(x )(x )=0
2) Add the signs
(i)if all the terms are positive:(x+ )(x+ )=0
(ii)if the center term is negative:(x- )(x- )=0
(iii)if the last term is negative(x+ )(x- )=0
(iv)if both the middle term and last term is negative(x+ )(x- )=0
3)Find the factors for last term should equal the middle term
4)Check work with FOIL method
Solution:
As mentioned above step:
1)Make a skeleton
(x )(x )=0
2)(i)if all the terms are positive:
(x+ )(x+ )=0
3)Now, Find the factors for last term should equal the middle term
21 factors are=1 x 21 and 3 x 7
So,(x+ 3)(x+7)=0
(x+ 3)(x+ 7)
Hence we factorize the x²+10x+21 and get solution (x+ 3)(x+ 7)
