Answer

$(x+2)(x+8)$

Work Step by Step

Using the factoring of trinomials in the form $x^2+bx+c,$ the given $\text{ expression }$ \begin{align*} x^2+10x+16 \end{align*} has $c= 16 $ and $b= 10 .$ The two numbers with a product of $c$ and a sum of $b$ are $\left\{ 2,8 \right\}.$ Using these two numbers, the factored form of the $\text{ expression }$ above is \begin{align*} & (x+2)(x+8) \end{align*}
