GIVE ME A REAL ANSWER PLEASE! IT IS DUE NOW! Factor completely 3x^2 + 5x + 1.

(3x + 1)(x + 1)
(3x + 5)(x + 1)
(3x − 5)(x + 1)
Prime

Answer 1

prime

Explanation:

3x^2 + 5x + 1

it can't be factorizes with rational numbers

Answer 2

Prime

Explanation:

3x^2 + 5x + 1

3x^2 factors in to 3x and x

1 factors into 1 and 1

( 3x + 1) ( x+1)

We need to verify the middle is 5

3x+1x = 4x

so this is not true

We cannot factor this so it is prime
