What is the expression in factored form? x^2+13x+42 can someone walk me through it?

The factored form of the given expression is (x+7)(x+6).

Explanation:

The given expression is,

The degree of the expression is 2, the constant term is 42, and the coefficient of x is 13.

Use factoring by grouping method

To find the factor form, we have to find two numbers whose sum is 13 and whose product is 42.

The factors of 42 are,

From which the sum of 6 and 7 is 13.

So We can write the 13x as 7x+6x.

Therefore, (x+7)(x+6) is the factor form of given expression.

answer is x<
