Answer:
See details below
Explanation:
in ax^2+bx+c = 2x^2+5x+2,
a=2,b=5,c=2.
1. a*c = 2*2 = 4
2. factor 4 to get 1,2,4, Factors that add to b=5 are 1 & 4.
3. (2x^2+x) + (4x+2)
4. x(2x+1) + 2(2x+1)
5. (2x+1)
6. (2x+1) ( x+2)
Some of the details may not be the same as what is expected as we do not know the format expected.
