Question

how do you factor 5x^2+60 x+55

Answer 1

help!!

Answer 2

5x^(2)+60x+55

Factor out the GCF of 5 from the expression 5x^(2).
5(x^(2))+60x+55

Factor out the GCF of 5 from the expression 60x.
5(x^(2))+5(12x)+55

Factor out the GCF of 5 from the expression 55.
5(x^(2))+5(12x)+5(11)

Factor out the GCF of 5 from 5x^(2)+60x+55.
5(x^(2)+12x+11)

For a polynomial of the form x^(2)+bx+c, find two factors of c (11) that add up to b (12). In this problem 11*1=11 and 11+1=12, so insert 11 as the right hand term of one factor and 1 as the right-hand term of the other factor.
5(x+11)(x+1)


Hope this helps. :)

Answer 3

The answer is: 5(x+11)(x+1)
