Factor the polynomial completely using the X method. x2 + 13x – 48 An x-method chart shows the product a c at the top of x and b at the bottom of x. Above the chart is the expression a x squared + 13 x minus 48. What is the four-term polynomial and factored form of the polynomial? x2 + 7x + 6x – 48 = (x + 7)(x + 6) x2 – 12x + 4x – 48 = (x – 12)(x + 4) x2 + 16x – 3x – 48 = (x + 16)(x – 3) x2 – 16x + 3x – 48 = (x – 16)(x + 3)
