Respuesta :

Factor completely: 3x2 + 5x + 1
multiples of 1:
1*1=1   1+1=2

3x2 + 5x + 1 can not be factored anymore, it's prime

Answer:

(D)

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation is in the form :

[tex](x+p)(x+q)[/tex]

[tex]x^2+px+qx+pq[/tex]

[tex]x^2+(p+q)x+pq[/tex]

and In the above, (p + q) = b and pq = c.

To factor a quadratic, we'll need to start by finding the two numbers (being the p and the q above) that add up to equal b, where those numbers also multiply to equal c.

Since, both 3 and 5 in the given equation [tex]3x^2+5x+1[/tex] are prime numbers, thus the given equation cannot be factorised because of the prime nature.

Hence, option D is correct.
