factor the trinomial 2a^2+30a+100 (Last one!) is this prime?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

This one is different because each term contains the factor 2. So factor out the 2 first and then factor the remaining trinomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got a^2+15a+50 after factoring out the 2

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. So think of two numbers. Their product is 50 and their sum is 15.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 2(x^2+15x+50)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

You are not done, are you?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

2(x+5)(x+10)
