Ms. Wilson draws a model of the factorization of a polynomial with integer factors. Her model is partially complete. n n squared 5 5 n 40 Which equation is represented by Ms. Wilson’s model?

The model’s factors include 5 and 8, whose product is 40. With the variable term n in each factor, the factors are (n + 5)(n + 8). Multiplying gives n² + 8n + 5n + 40 = n² + 13n + 40, so the represented equation is the one with n² + 13n + 40.
