Find the prime factorization of each composite number 45

The prime factorization of  45  is   45 = 5 x  3 x  3  OR  5 ⋅ 3 ²

We could also write this as:

5 ⋅ 3 ²

From the multiplication table, we know that  

45 = 5 ⋅x9  where 5  is prime, but  9  is not

 The prime factorization of  9  is  3 ⋅x3 ,

so the prime factorization of 45  is   45 = 5x 3x 3

OR

5 ⋅ 3 ²

answer is the third choice:

3x^5+4x^4+x^3+2x^2-10x-7=0
