Question

What is the factorization of 2x2 + 5x + 3?

Answer 1

Answer:

(2x+3)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:\

Since the first term has a coefficient, multiply 3 by 2 which results in 6.

Now to break the equation into groups, we have to find two integers that have a product of 6 and a sum of 5. The two integers are 2 and 3.

2x² + 5x + 3

= (2x² + 2x) + (3x + 3)

Factor out the GCF.

2x (x + 1) + 3(x + 1)

Divide the whole equation by x+1.

Now you're left with (x + 1) and (2x+3)

Answer 2

The answer should be A. Hope this helps
