\[ \begin{array}{ll} x^{2}-3x-4=(x+1)(x-4) \\ \\ x^{2}-5x+4=(x-4)(x-1) \\ \\ x^{2}+3x-4=(x-1)(x+4) \\ \\ x^{2}+5x+4=(x+4)(x+1) \\ \end{array} \]

Solución

To complete the factorizations, we need to find the missing factors for each expression. Let's go through each one step by step. 1. **For \( x^{2}-3x-4=(x+1)(\quad) \)**: - We need to find a factor that, when multiplied by \( (x + 1) \), gives us \( x^2 - 3x - 4 \). - We can use the fact that \( (x + 1)(x + b) = x^2 + (1 + b)x + b \). - Setting \( 1 + b = -3 \) gives \( b = -4 \). - Therefore, the missing factor is \( (x - 4) \). 2. **For \( x^{2}-5x+4=(x-4)(\quad) \)**: - We need to find a factor that, when multiplied by \( (x - 4) \), gives us \( x^2 - 5x + 4 \). - We can use the fact that \( (x - 4)(x + b) = x^2 + (-4 + b)x - 4b \). - Setting \( -4 + b = -5 \) gives \( b = -1 \). - Therefore, the missing factor is \( (x - 1) \). 3. **For \( x^{2}+3x-4=(x-1)(\quad) \)**: - We need to find a factor that, when multiplied by \( (x - 1) \), gives us \( x^2 + 3x - 4 \). - We can use the fact that \( (x - 1)(x + b) = x^2 + (-1 + b)x - b \). - Setting \( -1 + b = 3 \) gives \( b = 4 \). - Therefore, the missing factor is \( (x + 4) \). 4. **For \( x^{2}+5x+4=(x+4)(\quad) \)**: - We need to find a factor that, when multiplied by \( (x + 4) \), gives us \( x^2 + 5x + 4 \). - We can use the fact that \( (x + 4)(x + b) = x^2 + (4 + b)x + 4b \). - Setting \( 4 + b = 5 \) gives \( b = 1 \). - Therefore, the missing factor is \( (x + 1) \). Now, we can fill in the missing factors: \[ \begin{array}{ll} x^{2}-3x-4=(x+1)(x-4) \\ \\ x^{2}-5x+4=(x-4)(x-1) \\ \\ x^{2}+3x-4=(x-1)(x+4) \\ \\ x^{2}+5x+4=(x+4)(x+1) \\ \end{array} \]

Beyond the Answer

Let's complete the factorization for each expression: 1. For \( x^{2}-3x-4=(x+1)(\quad) \): We need two numbers that multiply to \(-4\) (the constant term) and add to \(-3\) (the coefficient of \(x\)). The numbers \(-4\) and \(1\) fit perfectly! Hence, \( x^{2}-3x-4=(x+1)(x-4) \). 2. For \( x^{2}-5x+4=(x-4)(\quad) \): This factorization suggests that we need to find a factor that completes it. We require a number that, when multiplied by \(-4\), gives \(4\) (the constant term) and adds up to \(-5\). The number \(-1\) works, so \( x^{2}-5x+4=(x-4)(x-1) \). 3. For \( x^{2}+3x-4=(x-1)(\quad) \): We need to find a factor that, with \(-1\), will form \(x^{2}+3x-4\). The two numbers that multiply to \(-4\) and add to \(3\) are \(4\) and \(-1\). Thus, \( x^{2}+3x-4=(x-1)(x+4) \). 4. For \( x^{2}+5x+4=(x+4)(\quad) \): We are looking for a number that, when multiplied by \(4\), results in \(4\) and adds to \(5\). The number \(1\) fits this description. Therefore, \( x^{2}+5x+4=(x+4)(x+1) \). Putting it all together: \( \begin{array}{ll} x^{2}-3x-4=(x+1)(x-4) \\ x^{2}-5x+4=(x-4)(x-1) \\ x^{2}+3x-4=(x-1)(x+4) \\ x^{2}+5x+4=(x+4)(x+1) \\ \end{array} \)
