Sari is factoring the polynomial 2x2 + 5x + 3. what is the missing number in her factorization? 2x2 + 5x + 3 = (2x +[ ? ])(x + 1)

3

Explanation:

The polynomial is:

(1)

We want to factorize it as follows:

where C is the unknown number we want to find.

Solving explicitely the last equation,

(2)

We want eq.(2) to be identical to eq.(1). From the last term, we see immediately that it must be C=3, and 2+C=5. So the missing number is 3, and the factorization is

if you use photomath right away it will give you the answer not like this app that you have to wait for people.

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
