Factor the trinomial step by step & explain 2x^2+ 5x + 3

One way to factor equation is to find the zeros. Its obvious that x=-1 is solution for this. So one factor is (x+1)

the next factor should include 2x at first (because we have 2x^2 in the equation which can not be made any other way)

Let's suppose the factor is (x+1)(2x+b)

Since we do not know what is b open the brackets 2x^2+bx+2x+b. If this is equal to 2x^2+5x+3 then b=3. We are left with (x+1)(2x+3)=2(x+1)(x+3/2)

Would go for other shorter solutions, but they require some deeper understanding like Horner's scheme,Fermat's Theorem or even deeper which I assume You will not understand)

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
