what is the factored form of 4x^2+12x+5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What times what equals 4x^2? @kristyn-whitaker

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that didnt help much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, actually we can use 2x..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x * 2x = 4x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So we have: \((2x +~?)(2x + ?)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What times what equals five? @kristyn-whitaker

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5x * 5x doesn't equal 5..it equals 25x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 5x*1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, that equals 5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We don't need an 'x'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5*1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we write \((2x + 5)(2x + 1)\)
