Which quadratic trinomial cannot be factorised into two linear binomials with integer coefficients?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 5x + 5

The correct answer is A: x² + 5x + 5. For ax² + bx + c, calculate Δ = b² − 4ac. In A, Δ = 5² − 4(1)(5) = 25 − 20 = 5. Since 5 is not a perfect square, the roots are not rational and the trinomial cannot be written as two linear binomials with integer coefficients. Option B factors as (x + 3)(x + 4). Option C factors as (x − 4)(x + 3). Option D factors as (2x + 1)(x + 3), because the product is 2x² + 7x + 3. Therefore only A fails the required type of factorisation. Memory cue: for integer linear factors, a perfect-square discriminant is a quick necessary check.
