Answer:

3. (x + 6)(x + 3)

4. (x-6)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

3. x^2 + 9x + 18

To check if it is factorable, first check the discriminant

b^2 - 4ac

9^2 - 4(1)(18)

81 - 72

9

Since D > 0, there are real number solutions

Now let us try and factor

Find a number that adds to 9 and multiplies to 18

3 and 6 work

Rewrite the equation as

x^2 + 3x + 6x + 18

x(x + 3) + 6(x + 3)

(x + 6)(x + 3)

4. x^2 - 4x - 12

To check if it is factorable, first check the discriminant

b^2 - 4ac

(-4)^2 - 4(1)(-12)

16 + 48 = 64

Since D > 0, there are real number solutions

Now let us try and factor

Find a number that adds to -4 and multiplies to -12

-6 and 2 work

Rewrite the equation as

x^2 - 6x + 2x - 12

x(x - 6) + 2(x - 6)

(x + 2)(x - 6)
