Factoring Trinomials: a = 1

Question 4 • Common Core Algebra I B-IC

Which expression is equivalent to n2 + 26n + 88 for all values of n?

Answer
A
(n + 8)(n + 11)
B
(n + 4)(n + 22)
C
(n + 4)(n + 24)
D
(n + 8)(n + 18)

Explanation

To factor n² + 26n + 88, find two numbers whose product is 88 and whose sum is 26. Those numbers are 4 and 22, so n² + 26n + 88 = (n + 4)(n + 22). Therefore, the equivalent expression is choice B.
