<h3>Answer: x(x+1)(5x+9) </h3>
===================================================
Work Shown:
5x^3 + 14x^2 + 9x
x( 5x^2 + 14x + 9 )
To factor 5x^2 + 14x + 9, we could use the AC method and guess and check our way to getting the correct result.
A better way in my opinion is to solve 5x^2 + 14x + 9 = 0 through the quadratic formula
Then use those two solutions to find the factorization
x = -1 or x = -9/5
x+1 = 0 or 5x = -9
x+1 = 0 or 5x+9 = 0
(x+1)(5x+9) = 0
So we have shown that 5x^2 + 14x + 9 factors to (x+1)(5x+9)
-----------
Overall,
5x^3 + 14x^2 + 9x
factors to
x(x+1)(5x+9)
