Question

What is the factored form of the polynomal? x2-12x+27

o (x+4)(x+3)
o (x-4)(x+3)
o (x+9)(x+3)
o (x-9)(x-3) ​

Answer 1

The answer is
`(x-9) (x-3)`.

Explanation:

This is because when you multiply them together you get

`x^(2)`,
`-9x`,
`-3x`, and
`27`

When you add the like terms you get,

`x^(2) - 12x +27`
