x to the second power plus 14x plus 48. what are the factors? we are doing factoring trinomials with a=1

(x + 6) (x + 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the constant term (48) which sum to give the coefficient of the x - term (14)

The factors are + 6 and + 8

since 6 * 8 = 48 and 6 + 8 = 14

x² + 14x + 48 = (x + 6) (x + 8) ← in factored form
