Question

What are the factors of the trinomial 3x^2 + 16x + 5? Show your work analytically

Answer 1

Answer:

3x+1 and x+5 are the factors

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the slide-and-divide method to find the factors:

$3x^2+16x+5$

$\frac{3x^2}{3}+16x+5(3)$

$x^2+16x+15$

$(x+1)(x+15)$

$(3*x+1)(x+\frac{15}{3})$

$(3x+1)(x+5)$
