Question

Supply the numbers to write x² + 10x + 16 = 0 in it’s factored form. Enter the lesser number first.

Answer 1

The factored form of the quadratic equation x² + 10x + 16 = 0 is (x + 2)(x + 8). The lesser number is -8 and the greater number is -2. So, the factored form of the equation is (x + 8)(x + 2).
