Q. Rewrite the expression as a product of four linear factors:\newline(x2+5x)2+10(x2+5x)+24 \left(x^{2}+5 x\right)^{2}+10\left(x^{2}+5 x\right)+24 \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Trinomial: Identify the given expression as a perfect square trinomial.\newlineThe expression (x2+5x)2+10(x2+5x)+24(x^2 + 5x)^2 + 10(x^2 + 5x) + 24 is in the form of (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2, where a=(x2+5x)a = (x^2 + 5x) and bb is to be determined.
  2. Determine Value of b: Determine the value of bb that makes the expression a perfect square trinomial. For the expression to be a perfect square trinomial, we need b2=24b^2 = 24 and 2ab=10(x2+5x)2ab = 10(x^2 + 5x). Solving for bb, we get b=24=26b = \sqrt{24} = 2\sqrt{6}. Now we check if 2ab=10(x2+5x)2ab = 10(x^2 + 5x) holds true for b=26b = 2\sqrt{6}.
  3. Verify 2ab2ab Calculation: Verify that 2ab2ab equals the middle term of the trinomial.2ab=2×(x2+5x)×26=46(x2+5x)2ab = 2 \times (x^2 + 5x) \times 2\sqrt{6} = 4\sqrt{6}(x^2 + 5x). We need this to equal 10(x2+5x)10(x^2 + 5x). However, 464\sqrt{6} is not equal to 1010, which means there is a mistake in the assumption that the expression is a perfect square trinomial.
