Which quadratic expression can be factorised into a product of two binomials using integers?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 5x + 6

Answer: A, x² + 5x + 6. For a monic quadratic x² + bx + c, look for two integers whose product is c and whose sum is b. For this expression, the required product is 6 and the required sum is 5. The integers 2 and 3 satisfy both conditions: 2 × 3 = 6 and 2 + 3 = 5. Therefore x² + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3). Expanding confirms it: x² + 3x + 2x + 6 = x² + 5x + 6. Option B would require integers with product 7 and sum 4; the integer factor pairs of 7 are 1 and 7, whose sum is 8. Option C would require product 2 and sum 2; the pair 1 and 2 sums to 3. Option D also fails because the factor pair 1 and 1 has sum 2, not 1. Memory cue: for x² + bx + c, find “multiply to c, add to b.”
