Chapter 7 - Polynomial Equations and Factoring - 7.5 - Factoring x 2 + bx + c - Exercises - Page 389: 4

Answer

$(z+7)(z+3)$.

Work Step by Step

The given polynomial is $=z^2+10z+21$ Standard form is $x^2+bx+c$. We have $b=10$ and $c=21$. $b$ and $c$ is positive. Factor pair of $21$, whose sum is $10$:- $7,3$ The values of $p$ and $q$ are $7$ and $3$. Hence, the factor of the polynomial is $(z+p)(z+q)=(z+7)(z+3)$. Check:- $=(z+7)(z+3)$ $=z^2+3z+7z+21$ $=z^2+10z+21$ True.
