6x%5E2%2B19x%2B10
:
Start out by factoring 6 and 10, then see what we have:
We know everything will be positive, so that makes it easier.
(3x + 5) ( 2x + 2)
FOILing that give us: 6x^2 + 6x + 10x + 10 = 6x^2 + 16x + 10
So that's not it!
:
Switch the 5 and 2 around:
(3x + 2) (2x + 5)
FOILing that gives us: 6x^2 + 15x + 4x + 10 = 6x^2 + 19x + 10, that's it!!
