The answer is B

(x^3 + x^2) + (5x + 5)

Factor out common factors from the binomials

x^2(x + 1) + 5(x + 1)

Now you factor out the greatest common binomial in the remaining expression

(x +1)(x^2 + 5)

Answer:

B.
(x^2 + 5)(x + 1)

Explanation:

Hello!

We can group the first two terms and the last two terms and factor each group.

Factor by Grouping


  • x^3 + x^2 + 5x + 5

  • (x^3 + x^2)+ (5x + 5)

  • x^2(x + 1) + 5(x + 1)

Now we can combine the like factors:


  • (x^2 + 5)(x + 1)

The answer is Option B.
