Which expression is a factor of 10 x 2 + 11 x + 3

the two factors are (5x + 3) and (2x + 1)

Explanation:

I will find the two factors of 10x² + 11x + 3.

You can use either the quadratic formula of factor.

I will use the quadratic formula:

1)    





x = -3/5 and x = -1/2

2) the factors are: x - (-3/5) = 0 and x - (-1/2) = 0

Simplify them.

3) x - (-3/5) = 0

5x + 3 = 0

4) x - (-1/2) = 0

2x + 1 = 0

5) Then the two factors are: (5x + 3) and (2x + 1).

6) verify:

(5x + 3)(2x + 1) = 10x² + 5x + 6x + 3 = 10x² + 11x + 3 which is the original expression.
