Answer:
(x-1) and (x+8).
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression is :
[tex]x^2+7x-8[/tex]
We need to find the factors of this expression.
Product of two numbers = 8 and -1 = -8
Sum of two numbers = 8 and -1 = 7
So,
[tex]x^2+7x-8=x^2+8x-x-8\\\\=x(x+8)-1(x+8)\\\\=(x-1)(x+8)[/tex]
So, the factors of this expression are (x-1) and (x+8).
