What is the factored form of this expression?
x2 + 15x + 56

To factor this, we need to find two numbers that have a sum of 15 and product of 56; these numbers are 7 and 8. Therefore, the factored form is (x + 7)(x + 8).

Step-by-step explanation:

Write 15x as a sum

Factor out X from the expression

Factor out 7 from the expression

Factor out X+8 from the expression

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment..
