Question

Factor x^3 +7x^2−5x−35

Answer 1

(x+7) (x^2 - 5)

Explanation:

x

3

+7x

2

−5x−35

=x

2

(x)+x

2

(7)−5(x)−5(7)

=x

2

(x+7)−5(x+7)

​

Now we are left with a common factor of (x+7)(x+7)left parenthesis, x, plus, 7, right parenthesis, so we can factor it out:

\begin{aligned} &\phantom{=}x^2\purpleC{(x+7)}-5\purpleC{(x+7)} \\\\ &=\purpleC{(x+7)}(x^2-5) \end{aligned}

​

=x

2

(x+7)−5(x+7)

=(x+7)(x

2

−5)

​

Answer 2

(x^2-5)(x + 7)

Explanation:

Here, we want to factorize the given expression

That would be;

x^2(x + 7) - 5(x + 7)

= (x^2-5)(x+ 7)
