Step 1
Factorization:
Factorization or factoring is the breaking apart of a polynomial into a product of other smaller polynomials.
These polynomials are called factors of the original polynomial.
A quadratic polynomial has a degree of 2. It is also called a second-order polynomial.
The standard form of a quadratic polynomial is ax2+bx+c, where are constants
The factors of a quadratic polynomial are linear.
Step 2
Given x2+6x+5 is a quadratic polynomial
We factorize the polynomial by splitting the middle term
Now,
x2+6x+5=x2+x+5x+5
=x(x+1)+5(x+1)
=(x+1)(x+5)
x2+6x+5=(x+1)(x+5)
