Question

Factor completely and then place the factors in the proper location on the grid.

b 2 + 12b + 32

Answer 1

The fully factored form of this expression would be:

(B+8)(B+4).

Answer 2

`(b+4)(b+8)`

Explanation:

The given quadratic trinomial is

`b^2+12b+32`

We split the middle term to obtain;

`b^2+8b+4b+32`

We factor to get;

`b(b+8)+4(b+8)`

We factor further to get;

`(b+4)(b+8)`
