How could brent use a rectangle to model the factors of x2 – 7x + 6?

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Brent uses a rectangle that models the area = (x² - 7x + 6)

Now we will factorize this expression

x² - 7x + 6 = x² - 6x - x + 6

                = x(x - 6) - 1(x - 6)

                = (x - 1)(x - 6)

Therefore, (x -1) and (x - 6) will represent the sides of a rectangle so that multiplication of the sides will model the area of the rectangle.

a: 1/6, j: 1/4
