  1. 2x^3+10x^2+10x

    2x[x^2+ 5x + 5]

    ====================

    making difference of square>

    compare with ax^2 + bx + c'

    c' = b^2/4a = [5]^2/4*1 = 25/4 adding/subtracting this

    square of [x +b/2a] = [x + 5/2]^2

    --------------

    2x[x^2+ 5x + {25/4 + 5 -25/4}]

    2x[{x + 5/2}^2 - 5/4]

    2x[{x + 5/2}^2 - {root5/2}^2]

    2x {x + 5/2 + root5/2} {x + 5/2 - root5/2}

    2x [x + (5+root5)/2] [x + (5 - root5)/2]


  2. a common factor of all the numbers if 2x

    so you can factor out the 2x

    2x(x^2+5x+x)
