Question

factorize x2+ 8x + 16

Answer 1

Answer:

is it x^2 or 2x

first tell it then I can answer

Answer 2

Use the sum-product pattern

x² + 8x + 16

x² + 4x + 4x + 16

Common factor from the two pairs

x² + 4x + 4x + 16

x(x + 4) + 4(x + 4)

Rewrite in factored form

x(x + 4) + 4(x + 4)

(x + 4)(x + 4)

Combine to a square

(x + 4)(x + 4)

(x+4)²

Solution

(x+4)²
