Question
Factories:
$a^2+ 14a + 48$

Answer

To factories $a^2+ 14a + 48$, we will find two number $p$ and $q$ such that $p + q = 14$ and $pq = 48$
$8 + 6 = 14$ And $8 x 6 = 48$
Splittiong the middle term $14a$ in the given quadratic as $8a + 6a,$ we get:
$a^2+ 14a + 48 =a^2+ 8a + 6a + 48$
$= (a2 + 8a) + (6a + 48)$
$= a(a + 8) + 6(a + 8)$
$= (a + 6)(a + 8)$
