Question

What is the factorization of 3x2-8x 5?

Answer 1

is it 3x^2 or is it 3x*2?

Answer 2

Factorization of 3x²-8x+5 is:

(3x-5)(x-1)

Explanation:

We have to factorize

3x²-8x+5

On splitting the middle term, we get

3x²-3x-5x+5

This could also be written as:

3x(x-1)-5(x-1)

=(3x-5)(x-1)

Hence, Factorization of 3x²-8x+5 is:

(3x-5)(x-1)
