The trinomial x2 – 3x – 4 is represented by the model. What are the factors of the trinomial? (x + 1) and (x – 4) (x + 4) and (x – 1) (x + 5) and (x – 4) (x + 4) and (x – 5)

Answer»

Lets rewrite the trinomial

We have : x² - 3x - 4

Lets FIND the roots

We have :

1 and - 4

Substituting this we have :

x² + x - 4x - 4 = 0

x (x + 1) - 4(x + 1)

(x - 4)(x +1)

The answer is thus :

(x - 4) and (x + 1)
