Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression $x^2 + 8x + 1$ cannot be factored into any of the given options because none of the options, when multiplied, will result in the original expression. This is because the constant term and the coefficient of the linear term in the given expression do not match any product of the constants and linear coefficients in the options. Therefore, the expression is prime with respect to the given options.
