Question

What are the factors of 3x2 + 10x + 8?

(3x + 8)(x + 1)
(3x + 1)(x + 8)
(3x + 2)(x + 4)
(3x + 4)(x + 2)

Answer 1

The answer is (3x + 4)(x + 2), because when expanded you get 3x^2 + 4x + 6x + 8, which simplifies to 3x^2 + 10x + 8. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

the factors are (3x+4) (x+2)
