Question

Factorise: 5 x cube + 10 x square + 15 x

Answer 1

5x ( x^2 + 2x +3 )

Explanation:

First we hv to take the common terms out from all the three terms...

So......

If we take 5x from 5x^3 it will bcm x^2

If we take 5x from 10^2 it will bcm 2x

if we take 5x from 15x^2 it will bcm 3

Therefore the final expression will bcm

5x ( x^2 + 2x +3 )

Hope this helps.....

Answer 2

5x( x^2 + 2x +3)

Explanation:

5x^3 + 10x^2 + 15x

What is common to all three terms

5 xxx + 5*2*xx + 5*3*x

We can factor out 5x

5x( x^2 + 2x +3)

Inside the parentheses cannot be factored so we are done
