Answer

The factor of the given polynomial is $(x+6)(x+1)$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=x^2+7x+6$ Rewrite $7x$ as $6x+1x$. $=x^2+6x+1x+6$ Group the terms. $=(x^2+6x)+(1x+6)$ Factor each group. $=x(x+6)+1(x+6)$ Factor out $(x+6)$. $=(x+6)(x+1)$ Hence, the factor of the given polynomial is $(x+6)(x+1)$.
