Answer: Factors are (5x+1)²

Explanation:

Given expression :
25x^(2) + 10x+ 1

We have to find the factors of the above expression

In order to find the factors of a quadratic equation we multiply the first term with the third term

i.e.
25x^(2) *1

=
25x^(2)

Now to break it in multiples such that their sum or difference is equal to the middle term

If we take (5+5)x that makes 10x


25x^(2) + 5x +5x+1

5x(5x+1) +1(5x+1)

=(5x+1)(5x+1)

or (5x+1)²
