Which shows the four-term polynomial and factored form of x2 + 6x – 27? x2 + 3x – 9x – 27 = (x + 3)(x – 9) x2 + 6x – 3x– 27 = (x + 6)(x – 3) x2 + 9x – 3x – 27 = (x + 9)(x – 3) x2 + 3x – 6x – 27 = (x + 3)(x – 6)

The correct option is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic polynomial is

By splitting the middle term method, the middle term can be written as 9x-3x.

The four-term polynomial is . It can be written as

Taking out the common factors from each parenthesis.

The factored form of given polynomial is (x+9)(x-3).

Therefore the correct option is 3.
