Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math now? Alright, so you're looking at the quadratic expression x^2 + 5x + 4. To factor this, you want to find two numbers that multiply to 4 (the constant term) and add up to 5 (the coefficient of the x term). Those numbers are 1 and 4, so the factored form is (x + 1)(x + 4). That's it, easy peasy lemon squeezy!

How do you factor out -5x's plus 9X-4?
As written, -5x + 9x = 4x 4x - 4 = 4(x - 1) If that's -5x2 + 9x - 4, that factors to -(x - 1)(5x - 4)
How do you factor 15x plus 8x-16?
If that's 15x2, the answer is (3x + 4)(5x - 4)
How do you factor x squared -12x plus 32?
(x - 8)(x - 4)
What binomial is a factor of both x2 plus 5x-36 and x2-9x plus 20?
x - 4. x^2 + 5x - 36 = (x - 4) (x + 9) x^2 - 9x + 20 = (x - 4) (x - 5)
How do you use the quadratic formula to solve 4x 2 - 5x plus 10?
If the equation is 4x squared - 5x + 10 = 0, then you set a = 4, b = -5, c = 10. Replace these numbers in the quadratic formula.
