Question

Factorize:3a^2 + 10a + 3​

Answer 1

Answer: (3a + 1) (a + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of factorization.

It is like "splitting" an expression into a multiplication of simpler expressions. Factoring is also the opposite of Expanding.

Solve:

Given = 3a² + 10a + 3

STEP ONE: separate 3a² into two terms

3a

a

STEP TWO: separate 3 into two terms

3

1

STEP THREE: match the four terms in ways that when doing cross-multiplication, the result will give us 10a.

3a     1

a       3

When cross multiply, 3a × 3 + 1 × a = 10a

STEP FOUR: combine the expression horizontally to get the final factorized expression.

3a  ⇒   1

a   ⇒    3

(3a + 1) (a + 3)

Hope this helps!! :)
