A rectangle model has area \(x^2+9x+20\), and the small corner area is \(20\). Which pair of sides is possible?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((x+4)\) and \((x+5)\)

The direct answer is B: the possible sides are \((x+4)\) and \((x+5)\). A rectangle model for a quadratic expression represents multiplication of two binomials. The constant corner must come from multiplying the constant parts, so we need two numbers whose product is 20. The coefficient of \(x\) comes from their sum, so those same numbers must add to 9. The pair 4 and 5 satisfies both tests: \(4\times5=20\) and \(4+5=9\). Therefore \((x+4)(x+5)=x^2+9x+20\). Option A has product 20 but sum 12, giving \(x^2+12x+20\). Option C has product 20 but sum 21. Option D has sum 9 but product 18. Memory cue: for \(x^2+sx+p\), check factor product \(p\) and factor sum \(s\).
