Answer:
C
Explanation:
Given
x² + 6x + 5
Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 5) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 6)
The factors are + 1 and + 5 , since
1 × 5 = + 5 and 1 + 5 = + 6, thus
x² +6x + 5 = (x + 1)(x + 5) → C
( x + 5 ) · ( x + 1 )
-Factoring by grouping-
First, split the middle term into two parts that are factorable by the other variables.
x² + x + 5x + 5
Factor the parts
x · ( x + 1 ) + 5 · ( x + 1 )
