If the factors of a polynomial are x + 8 and x + 4, what values of x make that polynomial 0?

A. 8 and - 4

B. - 8 and 4

C. - 8 and - 4

D. 8 and 4

Given the factors, the polynomial can be expressed as,

(x + 8) (x + 4) = 0

The factors may be individually taken account,

x + 8 = 0; x = - 8

x + 4 = 0; x = - 4

Thus, the values of x are - 8 and - 4. The answer is letter C.

-8 and - 4

C is answer
