a.(x + 5)(x + 2)
b.(x + 10)(x + 1)
c.(x2 + 5)(x + 2)
d .Prime

It's a

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a quadratic expression with the highest power of X being 2.

The coefficient of X² = 1

Note that the general form of a quadratic equation is aX² + bX + C

In this question,

a = 1

b = 7

C = 10

First step is to multiply a and C ( a x C)

= 1 X 10 = 10

Then, find 2 factors of 10 which can both add up to give 7, the coefficient of X given in the question.

The possible factors of 10 are 5 and 2. The sum of 5 and 2 is

5 + 2

Hence, the equation can be written as;

X² + 7X + 10 = X² + 5X + 2X + 10

The next step is to group using a bracket and factorise each bracket individually

(X² + 5X) + (2X + 10) =

X( X + 5) + 2( X + 5) =

(X + 5) (X + 2)

(X + 5) (X + 2) are the factors of the quadratic equation, X² + 7X + 10

step-by-step explanation:

one of the most important purposes of surface treatment is to alter surface properties according to the requirement of specific applications. for example, hydrophobic coating has been utilized on windshield and eyeglasses. gold atom monolayer on substrate has become a popular surface bioconjugation strategy.
