Factor polynomial $$ 20v^{3}+5v^{2}+8v+2 $$
Answer
$$ 20v^{3}+5v^{2}+8v+2 = ( 5v^{2}+2 )( 4v+1 ) $$
Explanation
To factor $ 20v^{3}+5v^{2}+8v+2 $ we can use factoring by grouping:
Group $ \color{blue}{ 20x^{3} }$ with $ \color{blue}{ 5x^{2} }$ and $ \color{red}{ 8x }$ with $ \color{red}{ 2 }$ then factor each group.
$$ \begin{aligned} 20v^{3}+5v^{2}+8v+2 = ( \color{blue}{ 20x^{3}+5x^{2} } ) + ( \color{red}{ 8x+2 }) &= \\ &= \color{blue}{ 5x^{2}( 4x+1 )} + \color{red}{ 2( 4x+1 ) } = \\ &= (5x^{2}+2)(4x+1) \end{aligned} $$This page was created using
