Question 1153434: Hello,
I am working on problems involving finding the factored form of the polynomial expression. However, I am not at all sure how to even began to solve it. Here is one of the questions:

Which of the following is the factored form of the polynomial expression x^2-6x-7 x 2 − 6 x − 7 ?
Group of answer choices
(x + 7)(x - 1)
(x + 1)(x - 7)
(x + 1)(x - 6)
(x + 6)(x - 1)
How do I figure out how to solve this problem?

Thank you!
Z

Which of the following is the factored form of the polynomial expression

your expression:
to factor it, first form two groups with two terms each
-> to form groups, write as
-> group first two terms and second two term together
......factor out from the first group, and from the second group
