In a visual model, the rectangle for x² + 14x + 40 must be divided into two numerical parts. Which parts are correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4 and 10

Answer: A, 4 and 10. To split the quadratic into a rectangle model, we need two numbers whose sum is the coefficient of x and whose product is the constant term. The required sum is 14 and the required product is 40. Since 4 + 10 = 14 and 4×10 = 40, the expression factors as x² + 14x + 40 = (x + 4)(x + 10). Option B has the correct-looking sum, 5 + 9 = 14, but its product is 45, not 40. Option C has product 40, but its sum is 22, not 14. Option D has sum 14, but its product is 48. Thus both tests, not just one, are necessary. Memory cue: in a monic quadratic x² + bx + c, search for numbers adding to b and multiplying to c.
