what is the factorization of x2+7x+10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, it has to look like (x + ?)(x + ?) because you have 1x^2 and all terms are positive. so what two numbers add up to 7 but multiply to 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 add up to 7 but 5 can be multiply by 10 so is that it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 + 5 = 7 and 2 x 5 = 10, so yes, that works

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+2)(x+5)
