Answer:
(x + 5)(2x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2x² + 11x + 5
Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.
product = 2 × 5 = + 10 and sum = + 11
The factors are + 10 and + 1
Use these factors to split the x- term
2x² + 10x + x + 5 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2x(x + 5) + 1 (x + 5) ← factor out (x + 5 from each term
= (x + 5)(2x + 1) ← in factored form
