A polynomial is factored using algebra tiles. An algebra tile configuration. 0 tiles are in the Factor 1 spot and 0 tiles are in the Factor 2 spot. 15 tiles are in the Product spot in 3 columns with 5 rows: 1 is labeled + x squared, 2 are labeled + x, the 4 tiles below + x squared are labeled negative x, and the 8 tiles below the + x tiles are labeled negative. Which polynomial was factored? x2 – 2x – 8 x2 + 2x – 8 x2 – 2x – 4 x2 + 2x – 4

x² - 2x - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebra tiles are tiles used to represent variables or numbers and are rectangular or square shaped.

1 is labeled + x squared, this gives x²

2 are labeled + x, this gives +x × 2 = +2x

4 tiles below + x squared are labeled negative x, this gives - x × 4 = - 4x

8 tiles below the + x tiles are labeled negative, this gives -1 × 8 = -8

Therefore to get the polynomial that was factored, we add all the terms. This gives :

+x² + (+ 2x) + (-4x) + (-8) = x² + 2x - 4x - 8 = x² - 2x - 8

answer: add the !
