Question

Factor in the trinomial form of ax²+bx+c

4x²+15x+9

Answer 1

( 4x + 3 ) ( x + 3 )

Explanation:

9 × 4 = 36

Factors of 36 = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36 }

3 and 12 add up to 15

4x² + 15x + 9

4x² + 3x + 12x + 9

( 4x² + 3x ) + ( 12x + 9 )

x (4x + 3) + 3 ( 4x + 3 )

( 4x + 3 ) ( x + 3 )
