Answer:

Explanation:

Factorize the expressions:

a. 5x²+15x+10

→we see all coefficients are divisible by 5 so we factor by 5

5(x²+3x+2)

→ what numbers have the sum 3 and product 2 ? ...1 and 2 so we can factor

5(x+1)(x+2)

c. 4x²-6x-4

→we see all coefficients are divisible by 2 so we factor by 2

2(2x²-3x-2)

Cannot be further factored.

e. 2x²-7x-15

Cannot be factored.
