Question

Write each of the following expressions, as a product of linear factors, with integer coefficient:
(i) 5x2 + 16x + 3
(ii) 24p2 - 41p + 12

Answer 1

(i) 5x^2 + 16x +3
5x^2 + 15x + x +3
5x ( x + 3 ) + 1 ( x+ 3 )
( 5x + 1 ) ( x + 3 )

Answer 2

Answer:

(8p-3p)(3p-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

24p^2 - 41p + 12

by splitting the middle term

24p^2 - 32p - 9p + 12

(24p^2 - 32p) (9p -12)

8p(3p-4)-3p(3p-12)

(8p-3p) (3p-12)
