Choose the correct factorisation of 2x^2 + 5x + 2.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2x + 1)(x + 2)

The correct answer is A: (2x + 1)(x + 2). Verify it by multiplying each term: (2x + 1)(x + 2) = 2x·x + 2x·2 + 1·x + 1·2 = 2x^2 + 4x + x + 2 = 2x^2 + 5x + 2. Thus the leading term, middle term, and constant all match. Option B expands to 2x^2 + 2x + 2x + 2 = 2x^2 + 4x + 2, so the middle coefficient is wrong. Option C expands to x^2 + 5x + 4, so both the leading and constant terms differ. Option D gives 2x^2 − 5x + 2, with the wrong sign for the middle term. A reliable method is to use the outer and inner products: in the correct pair, 4x + x must combine to 5x, while the first and last products must be 2x^2 and 2.
