If a rectangle area model is (x^2+10x+21), which sides will be correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x+3) and (x+7) / correct factors

The direct answer is option B: the sides are (x+3) and (x+7). To factor x^2+10x+21, find two numbers whose sum is 10 and whose product is 21. The numbers 3 and 7 satisfy both conditions: 3+7=10 and 3×7=21. Therefore (x+3)(x+7)=x^2+7x+3x+21=x^2+10x+21. Option A has constants 1 and 21, whose sum is 22, so its middle term is wrong even though the product is 21. Option B satisfies both the middle coefficient and the constant term. Option C has 2+8=10, but 2×8=16, not 21. Option D gives positive constant 21 but negative middle term −10x, so it represents a different expression. Memory cue: for x^2+bx+c, check both sum b and product c.
