Factoring Trinomials: a = 1 (Continued)

Question 1 • Common Core Algebra I B-IC

What is the factored form of 6x2 + 13x + 6?

Answer
A
(x + 4)(x + 9)
B
(2x + 3)(3x + 2)
C
(2x + 6)(3x + 1)
D
(6x + 1)(6x + 1)

Explanation

To factor 6x² + 13x + 6, look for two binomials whose leading terms multiply to 6x² and whose constants multiply to 6. The choice (2x + 3)(3x + 2) expands to 6x² + 4x + 9x + 6, which combines to 6x² + 13x + 6. So the factored form is (2x + 3)(3x + 2).
