Answer:

(d + 1) (2d + 9)

Explanation:

2d² + 11d + 9

First, we rewrite 11d as 2d + 9d, we have the equation:

2d² + 2d + 9d + 9

We group them, so the equation will be

(2d² + 2d) + (9d + 9)

Factor out the GCF of each group

2d (d + 1) + 9 (d + 1)

Factor the polynomial by factoring out the greatest common factor, d+1

(d + 1) (2d + 9)

So, the answer is (d + 1) (2d + 9)
