What is the factored form of this polynomial? x2 + 5x − 36 A. (x + 4)(x + 9)
B. (x − 4)(x − 9)
C. (x − 5)(x + 8)
D. (x − 4)(x + 9)

D. (x - 4)(x + 9)

Step-by-step explanation:

x2+5x−36

[think of numbers that add together to get 5 and multiply together to get -36!]

-4 + 9 = 5

-4 * 9 = -36

hope this helped! :]

D: ( x - 4 ) ( x + 9 )

Step-by-step explanation:

By multipling the two friction :

x2 + 9x - 4x - 36

= x2 + 5x - 36

δabc ≅ δdcb by sas because

db ≅ ac . . given (side)

bc ≅ bc . . reflexive property (side)

∠dbc ≅ ∠ acb . . alternate interior angles where transversal bc crosses parallel lines bd and ac (included angle)
