Answer:
(y+10)(2y+1)
Step-by-step explanation:
2y^2
+21y+10
Factor the expression by grouping. First, the expression needs to be rewritten as 2y^2
+ay+by+10. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
a+b=21
ab=2×10=20
Since ab is positive, a and b have the same sign. Since a+b is positive, a and b are both positive. List all such integer pairs that give product 20.
1,20
2,10
4,5
Calculate the sum for each pair.
1+20=21
2+10=12
4+5=9
The solution is the pair that gives sum 21.
a=1
b=20
Rewrite 2y^2
+21y+10 as (2y^2
+y)+(20y+10).
(2y
^2
+y)+(20y+10)
actor out y in the first and 10 in the second group.
y(2y+1)+10(2y+1)
Factor out common term 2y+1 by using distributive property.
(2y+1)(y+10)
