<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

$x = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\x = \frac{-(14)\pm\sqrt{(14)^2-4(5)(9)}}{2(5)}\\\\x = \frac{-14\pm\sqrt{16}}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-14\pm4}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-14+4}{10} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-14-4}{10}\\\\x = \frac{-10}{10} \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-18}{10}\\\\x = -1 \ \text{ or } \ x = \frac{-9}{5}\\\\$

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)

Hi!

We are given the information found in the picture below.

Note: The directions aren't correct, but the triangle works for this problem.

The "direct path" is the hypotenuse of this triangle.

To find this, we use the Pythagorean Theorem, where $a$ and $b$ are 2 legs of the triangle, and $c$ is the hypotenuse, aka the longest side of any triangle:
