Math Problem Statement
factor
Solution
The text extraction from the image did not succeed, but I can clearly read the equation from the image you provided. Let's factor this quadratic equation.
We are factoring .
To do this, we look for two numbers that multiply to give (the constant term) and add to give (the coefficient of ).
The numbers are and , because:
So, we can factor the equation as:
Thus, the factored form is:
