Question

The tiles below represent the polynomial 2x2 + 5x + 3.

What is the factorization of 2x2 + 5x + 3?

A. (2x + 3)(x + 1)
B. (x + 3)(x + 3)
C. (x + 3)(x + 1)
D. (2x + 3)(x + 3)

Answer 1

The answer to this question is A. (2x + 3)(x + 1).

2x^2 + 5x + 3 factors into (2x + 3)(x + 1).

Answer 2

Factorization of 2x²+5x+3 is:

A. (2x + 3)(x + 1)

Explanation:

We have to factorize the expression:

2x²+5x+3

We will solve this expression by splitting the middle term method

2x²+5x+3

=2x²+2x+3x+3

=2x(x+1)+3(x+1)

=(2x+3)(x+1)

Hence, factorization of 2x²+5x+3 is:

A. (2x + 3)(x + 1)
