How do you factor the trinomial x^2+8x+12? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Factorization of Quadratic Expressions 2 Answers Megan T. · Shantelle Apr 6, 2018 (x+2)(x+6) Explanation: 2+6=8 2*6=12 (x+2)(x+6) Check: = x^2 + 6x + 2x +12 = x^2 + 8x + 12 Answer link Armin Nahar Mim · Stefan V. Apr 6, 2018 (x+6)(x+2) Explanation: 12=6*2; where 6+2=8 12=3*4; where 3+4=7 12=12*1, where 12+1=13 So we will take 6 and 2. Now; x^2+8x+12 x^2+6x+2x+12 x(x+6)+2(x+6) (x+6)(x+2) Answer link Related questions How do you factor trinomials? What is factorization of quadratic expressions?
