Chapter 6: Q 65E (page 589)

In the following exercises, factor each trinomial of the form $x^{2} + b x + c$ .
$a^{2} + 25 a + 100$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The factors are $(a + 5) (a + 20)$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Writing the expression

Write the factors as two binomials with first terms $a$ .

localid="1644544102479" $(a) (a)$ .

Step 2. Finding the factors

We need to find two numbers whose product is $100$ and sum is $25$ .

Factors of $100$	Sum of factors
$1, 100$	$101$
$2, 50$	$52$
$4, 25$	$29$
$5, 20$	$25$
$10, 10$	$20$

Thus, $5, 20$ are the correct factors.

Hence, the factorization of the trinomial is $(a + 5) (a + 20)$ .

Step 3. Check

Multiply the factorization to get the trinomial again.

$(a + 5) (a + 20) = a^{2} + 20 a + 5 a + 100 (a + 5) (a + 20) = a^{2} + 25 a + 100$

Thus, the obtained factorization is correct.
