Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Method for factoring quadratic equations is known as Splitting the middle term.

For Example :-

6x² + 19x + 10

Product of 1st and last term = 6 x 10 = 60

Factors of 60 = 15 x 4 = 60  and 15 + 4 = 19

= 6x² + 15x + 4x + 10

= 3x ( 2x + 5)+ 2(2x + 5)

= (3x + 2) ( 2x + 5)
