Pls can someone help me factorise this: a²+9a+8

(a + 8)(a + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the first term is squared, so we can put it out like this:

a * a

The third term has to be separated so that the sum of the two factors is the coefficient of the second term, 9.

8 = 4 * 2 (does 4 +/- 2 = 9? nope, we can't use that)

8 = 8 * 1 (does 8+/- 1 = 9? yes, when 8 + 1)

So the factor is a + 8 and a + 1.

Put this together and (a+8)(a+1)

step-by-step explanation:

this is not possible to solve with the info given.   you need at least an one angle somewhere.
