Supply the numbers to write x2+10x+16=0

Question

in its factored form. Enter the lesser number first.(1 point)
(x+

)(x+

)=0

Answer 1

To factor the quadratic equation \(x^2 + 10x + 16 = 0\), we need to find two numbers that multiply to \(16\) (the constant term) and add up to \(10\) (the coefficient of the linear term).

The numbers that fit this requirement are \(2\) and \(8\).

So, the factored form is:

\[ (x + 2)(x + 8) = 0 \]

Thus, the answer is:

\((x + 2)(x + 8) = 0\)

With the lesser number first, the answer is:

\((x + 2)(x + 8) = 0\)

Answer 2

Supply the number so that the quadratic equation below has 6 and 8 as its solutions.(1 point)
x2−14x+
=0
