Factor the expression x^2+6x+5

(x + 5)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

First, notice that because this is a trinomial (has three terms separated by some operation), we will use a basic factoring technique.

The parent function for a quadratic is ax²+bx+c=0.

Therefore, the factoring technique is to see what factors of C add up to give you B.

Factors of 5 are 5 and 1, and 5 + 1 = 6.

So, therefore, your factors are (x + 5) (x + 1).

Performing the FOIL function on this gives you x² + 1x + 5x + 5. Simplify by adding like terms and your final answer is x² + 6x + 5.

this may not be at all, but i use the same website you're using for school, and if i'm stuck doing one of these i try to look for it on the section.

irrational, then, just means all the numbers that aren't rational. every integer is a rational number, since each integer n can be written in the form n/1. however, numbers like 1/2, 45454737/2424242, and -3/7 are also rational, since they are fractions whose numerator and denominator are integers.
