in the case of special products try these http://www.intmath.com/factoring-fractions/1-special-products.php

anonymous · Answer

it is probably square of a sum

anonymous · Answer

lets do this by grouping first, the problem is x^2 + 10x + 25

what two numbers when multiply give you 25 but when you add both numbers give you 10

anonymous · Answer

so x^2 + 5x + 5x +25
(x^2 + 5x) + (5x + 25)
x(x+5)+ 5(x+5)
(x+5)(x+5)

anonymous · Answer

the second part is that the polynomial is a perfect square, and thus it can be derived by simply multiply (x + 5) two times
