Factor.\newlines2+10s+21 s^{2}+10 s+21

Full solution

Q. Factor.\newlines2+10s+21 s^{2}+10 s+21
  1. Identify Variables: Identify aa, bb, and cc in the quadratic expression s2+10s+21s^2 + 10s + 21. Compare s2+10s+21s^2 + 10s + 21 with ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c. a=1a = 1, b=10b = 10, c=21c = 21
  2. Find Product and Sum: Find two numbers whose product is 2121 (ac)(a*c) and whose sum is 1010 (b)(b).\newlineProduct: 121=211*21 = 21, Sum: 1+21=221+21 = 22 (wrong pair)\newlineProduct: 37=213*7 = 21, Sum: 3+7=103+7 = 10 (correct pair)
  3. Write Factored Form: Write the factored form using the numbers found.\newlineFactored form: (s+3)(s+7)(s + 3)(s + 7)
