You can put this solution on YOUR website! Factor the expression x + 13sqrt(x)+ 12
_____________________________________________
By looking at the pattern of the equation, we can rewrite it in term of quadratic equation by letting sqrt(x) = Y. Then x = Y^2
So we will rewrite the equation:
Y^2 + 13Y + 12
(Y + 12)(Y + 1)
Now we have factored form in term of Y. We'll write it in term of x:
(sqrt(x) + 12)(sqrt(x) + 1)
Hope it helps:)
