x squared + 5x +6

Question

x squared + 5x +6

Answer 1

X squared +5x+6 can be easily factored. Begin with the factors of 6. Those being 1,2,3,6.

Ask yourself what 2 factors can be multiplied to get six but if added give you 5?

factor (x+2)(x+3)= x squared +2x+3x+6 Use the FOIL method to check FOIL means first, inner outer last.

Hope this helped. Katie Maurer

Answer 2

Do you want to factor it?

x^2 + 5x + 6 = (x+2)(x+3)
