Which of the following is the correct factorization of the polynomial below?
x3 + 10x2 + 25x
A. x(x + 5)(x - 5)
B. (x2 + 2x - 5)(x-10)
C. (x2 + 5x - 2)(x-10)
D. x(x + 5)2

Respuesta :

Answer:

x(x+5)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 + 10x^2 + 25x

Factor out x

x(x^2+10x+25)

What 2 numbers multiply to 25 and add to 10

5*5 = 25

5+5 =10

x(x+5)(x+5)

x(x+5)^2

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x³ + 10x² + 25x ← factor out x from each term

= x(x² + 10x + 25) ← perfect square

= x(x + 5)²
