Question

Factorize the following expressions by splitting the middle term i) 4p2 + 17p + 15​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

4p2 +17p + 15 is the given equation

now - 15*4= 60

factors of 60=2*2*3*5

the two factors which on addition give 17 are  4*4=12 and 5

we know that 12+5=17

hence , 4p2 +12p+5p+15

4p(p+3) +5(p+3)

(4p+5)(p+3)

equating the factors to zero

p=-5/4 and -3

this is the answer
