The factors of the polynomial x² + 16x + 48 are ;
-4 and -12.
Given the polynomial :
x² + 16x + 48
To factorize :
x² + 16x + 48 = 0
Two numbers whose addition gives 16 and product gives 48
The two numbers are : 12 and 4
x² + 12x + 4x + 48 = 0
x(x + 12) + 4(x + 12)
Hence,
(x + 12) = 0
(x + 4) = 0
Hence,
x = -4 or x = -12
