If tiles of (x^2-12x+35) form a rectangle, which sides make the model correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x-5) and (x-7)

The direct answer is C: the sides are x-5 and x-7. For a quadratic x^2+px+q, look for two numbers whose sum is p and whose product is q. Here the required numbers must add to -12 and multiply to 35. The pair -5 and -7 works because -5+(-7)=-12 and (-5)(-7)=35. Therefore (x-5)(x-7)=x^2-7x-5x+35=x^2-12x+35. In the tile model, x^2 is the large tile, the two negative strips give -12x, and the positive corner gives 35. Option A gives x^2-36x+35, so its middle term is wrong. Option B gives x^2+12x+35, with the wrong sign in the middle. Option C matches both the middle and constant terms. Option D gives x^2-23x-420, so both important coefficients are wrong. A useful cue is that a positive constant with a negative middle coefficient usually requires two negative factor numbers.
