Question

HELP!! Factor if possible. Check by substituting x=1.
5t^2 + 7t + 2
Answer: (5t + 2) (t+1) -> how they got this?

Answer 1

Dunno 5

Answer 2

5 t^2 + 5t + 2t + 2

Answer 3

as 7t can also be written as 5t + 2t

Answer 4

\[5 t^2 + 2t + 5t + 2\]

Answer 5

But what was the method used to get the answer though? ):

Answer 6

taking t common in \[5t ^{2} + 2t\] we get t ( 5t +2 )

Answer 7

taking 1 common in next two terms we get 1( 5t+2)

Answer 8

so roots are (5t+2) and (t+1) respectively

Answer 9

this is a factor method to find roots

Answer 10

so roots are t = -1 and t = -2/5

Answer 11

Oh, alright thank you!
