Which is the correct factorisation of 2x² + 9x + 10?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (2x + 5)(x + 2)

Answer: A. We can check a proposed factorisation by expanding it. For A, (2x + 5)(x + 2) = 2x·x + 2x·2 + 5·x + 5·2 = 2x² + 4x + 5x + 10 = 2x² + 9x + 10. Both the leading term and constant term are correct, and the middle terms add to 9x. B gives 2x² + 20x + x + 10 = 2x² + 21x + 10, so its middle coefficient is wrong. C gives x² + 9x + 20, so its leading coefficient is wrong. D gives 2x² − 4x − 5x + 10 = 2x² − 9x + 10, which has the opposite sign for the middle term. The safest method is to multiply every term in the first bracket by every term in the second bracket and collect like terms.
