Completely factor the polynomial below. p^2+19p+60 a. (p+4)(p+15) b. (p+4)(p-15) c. (p-4)(p+15) d. (p-4)(p+5)

The first step for solving this problem is to write 19p as a sum.
p² + 15p + 4p + 60
Factor out p from the expression.
p × (p + 15) + 4p + 60 
Now factor out 4 from the expression.
p × (p + 15) + 4(p + 15)
Lastly,, factor out p + 15 from the expression to find your final answer.
(p + 4) × (p + 15)
This means that the correct answer to your question is (p + 4) × (p + 15),, or option A.
