Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are factoring a quadratic equation of the form ax+bx+cax^ + bx + c . The equation we are factoring is x+4x+3x^ +4x +3

STEP 2

A quadratic equation can be factored into two binomial expressions of the form (x+p)(x+q)(x + p)(x + q), where pp and qq are numbers that satisfy the following conditions1. p+q=bp + q = b
2. p×q=cp \times q = c

In our case, b=4b =4 and c=c =.

STEP 3

We need to find two numbers that add up to (the coefficient of xx) and multiply to3 (the constant term).

STEP 4

The numbers that satisfy these conditions are1 and3, because 1+3=41 +3 =4 and 1×3=31 \times3 =3.

STEP 5

Substitute pp and qq with1 and3 into the binomial expressions (x+p)(x+q)(x + p)(x + q).
(x+1)(x+3)(x +1)(x +3) So, the factored form of x2+4x+3x^2 +4x +3 is (x+1)(x+3)(x +1)(x +3).
