Factor 2x2 + 7x + 3. (2x + 2)(x + 1) (2x + 3)(x + 1) (2x + 1)(x + 3)

(2x + 1)(x + 3)

It is probably easier to try the answer choices than to try to factor the expression yourself.

(2x + 2)(x + 1) = 2x² +4x +2

(2x + 3)(x + 1) = 2x² +5x +3

(2x + 1)(x + 3) = 2x² +7x +3 . . . . . correct choice

Constructed solution

If you want to factor this yourself, you can look for factors of "ac" that add to give "b". That is, you want factors of 2·3 = 6 that add up to give 7. You don't have to look very far.

... 6 = 1·6 = 2·3 . . . . . . the first factor pair adds to give 7

Now, rewrite the x term using the sum of these numbers.

... 2x² +(1 +6)x +3

... 2x +x +6x +3 . . . . eliminate parentheses

... (2x +x) +(6x +3) . . . . group pairs of terms

... x(2x +1) +3(2x +1) . . . . factor each pair

... (x +3)(2x +1) . . . . . . matches the last selection

the answer is:

the lateral area is equal to

to find the lateral area of the square pyramid, first we need to find the perimeter of the base, and then, find the lateral area using the following formulas:

where,

s, is the base length

slant height, is the height of a the side of the pyramid

we are given:

now, calculating the perimeter of the base, we have:

then, calculating the lateral area:

hence, we have that the lateral area is equal to

have a nice day!
