Question

Factor the expression below

Answer 1

Answer:

(2x² + 5x + 2) = (2x + 1)(x +2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is (2x² + 5x + 2).

We have to factorize the given expression.

(2x²+ 5x + 2) = 2x² + 4x + x + 2

                     = 2x(x + 2) + 1(x + 2)

                     = (2x + 1)(x + 2)

So the factored form of the given expression will be (2x + 1)(x + 2).
