To factor the quadratic expression \(x^2 + 8x + 15\), we need to find two numbers that multiply to 15 (the constant term) and add up to 8 (the coefficient of the linear term).
The factors of 15 that add up to 8 are 3 and 5.
Therefore, we can factor the expression as follows:
\[
x^2 + 8x + 15 = (x + 3)(x + 5)
\]
So, the factored form of the quadratic is \((x + 3)(x + 5)\).
The factors of 15 that add up to 8 are 3 and 5.
Therefore, we can factor the expression as follows:
\[
x^2 + 8x + 15 = (x + 3)(x + 5)
