Which of the following is a factor of x2 − 8x + 15?

(x−3)(x−5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's factor x2−8x+15

x2−8x+15

The middle number is -8 and the last number is 15.

Factoring means we want something like

(x+_)(x+_)

Which numbers go in the blanks?

We need two numbers that...

Add together to get -8

Multiply together to get 15

Can you think of the two numbers?

Try -3 and -5:

-3+-5 = -8

-3*-5 = 15

Fill in the blanks in

(x+_)(x+_)

with -3 and -5 to get...

(x-3)(x-5)
