The correct Answer is:
To factor the quadratic expression \( x^2 + 14x + 33 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The given quadratic expression is in the form \( ax^2 + bx + c \), where: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = 14 \) - \( c = 33 \) ### Step 2: Find two numbers that multiply to \( ac \) and add to \( b \) We need to find two numbers that: - Multiply to \( ac = 1 \times 33 = 33 \) - Add to \( b = 14 \) The pairs of factors of 33 are: - \( 1 \times 33 \) - \( 3 \times 11 \) Among these pairs, \( 3 \) and \( 11 \) add up to \( 14 \): - \( 3 + 11 = 14 \) ### Step 3: Rewrite the middle term using the two numbers We can rewrite the expression by splitting the middle term: \[ x^2 + 3x + 11x + 33 \] ### Step 4: Factor by grouping Now, we can group the terms: \[ (x^2 + 3x) + (11x + 33) \] Factoring out the common terms in each group: \[ x(x + 3) + 11(x + 3) \] ### Step 5: Factor out the common binomial Now we can factor out the common binomial \( (x + 3) \): \[ (x + 3)(x + 11) \] ### Final Answer Thus, the factored form of the quadratic expression \( x^2 + 14x + 33 \) is: \[ (x + 3)(x + 11) \] ---
