Question

3x²+8x+5= They are telling me to factorize this problem but I do not understand

Answer 1

Given equation,

$3x^2+8x+5$

To find: Factorize the given equation.

Solution:

Split the middle term into 5 and 3.

$\begin{gathered} 3x^2+3x+5x+5 \\ =3x(x+1)+5(x+1) \\ =(3x+5)(x+1) \end{gathered}$

Hence, the factor of the given equation is (3x+5) and (x+1)
