Chapter 7: Q 128. (page 833)

In the following exercises, factor each expression
$r^{2} + 11 r s + 36 s^{2}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The expression, $r^{2} + 11 r s + 36 s^{2}$ is a prime.

Step by step solution

Step 1. Given information

Given expression is $r^{2} + 11 r s + 36 s^{2}$ .

Step 2. Find the last terms of the trinomials

Write the factors as trinomials, $r$ in the first term of each binomial and $s$ in the second term.

(r_s)(r_s)

Find the numbers that multiply 36 and add to $11$ .

Factors of 36	Sum of factors
1, 36	1 + 36 = 37
2, 18	2 + 18 = 20
3, 12	3 + 12 = 15
9, 4	9 + 4 = 13
6, 6	6 + 6 = 12

Step 3. Factorization

As shown in the table, none of the factors add to $11$ ; therefore, the expression is prime.
