QuestionFactor the polynomial 10x2+29x+1010 x^{2}+29 x+10 as (5x+B)(Cx+D)(5 x+B)(C x+D) with integers BB, CC, and DD. Find BB, CC, and DD.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The polynomial is 10x+29x+1010x^ +29x +10 . The polynomial can be factored into the form (5x+B)(Cx+D)(5x + B)(Cx + D) where B, C, and D are integers

STEP 2

The general form of a quadratic equation is ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c. In this case, a=10a =10, b=29b =29, and c=10c =10. We need to find two numbers that multiply to ac=10×10=100ac =10 \times10 =100 and add to b=29b =29.

STEP 3

The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are20 and5, because 20×5=10020 \times5 =100 and 20+5=2520 +5 =25.

STEP 4

Now we rewrite the middle term of the quadratic equation as the sum of the terms 20x20x and xx.10x2+29x+10=10x2+20x+9x+1010x^2 +29x +10 =10x^2 +20x +9x +10

STEP 5

Next, we factor by grouping. This means we group the first two terms together and the last two terms together, and factor out the greatest common factor from each group.
10x2+20x+9x+10=10x(x+2)+5(2x+2)10x^2 +20x +9x +10 =10x(x +2) +5(2x +2)

STEP 6

Now we can see that (x+2)(x +2) is a common factor in both terms. We factor this out to get the final factored form of the quadratic equation.
10x(x+2)+5(2x+2)=(5x+5)(2x+2)10x(x +2) +5(2x +2) = (5x +5)(2x +2)So, the polynomial 10x2+29x+1010x^2 +29x +10 factors to (5x+5)(2x+2)(5x +5)(2x +2).
Therefore, B=5B =5, C=2C =2, and =2 =2.
