Answer:

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

2)
(x+5)(x+10)

Explanation:

You can factorize the quadratics equations by applying the proccedure shown below:

1)
x^2+3x+2

Find two number whose sum is 3 and whose product is 2.

These would be 1 and 2.

Rewrite it as folowing:


(x+1)(x+2)

2)
x^2+15x+50

Find two number whose sum is 15 and whose product is 50.

These would be 5 and 10.

Therefore, you can rewrite it as folowing:


(x+5)(x+10)
