What is the prime factorization of 882? a.2 · 3^2 · 7^2 b.2 · 3^2 · 7 c.2^2 · 3 · 7 d.2 · 3 · 7

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Prime factorization is reducing a term to its factors of which all are prime numbers.

882= 2*441

882=2*3*147

882= 2*3*3*49

882=2*3*3*7*7

Now write with exponents for simplest form:

the first one is x^2+2x+2

the second one is x^2+4

the last one is x^2-4x+8

cross multiplying, we get :

⇒ (3) × (5) = (9) × (x)

⇒ 15 = 9x
