QuestionFactor. s2+8sd+15d2s^{2}+8 s d+15 d^{2}

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The expression is a quadratic trinomial in terms of ss and dd.
2. We are looking for two binomials that multiply to give the original expression.

STEP 2

1. Identify the structure of the quadratic trinomial.
2. Determine the factors of the quadratic trinomial.

STEP 3

Identify the structure of the quadratic trinomial. The expression is in the form ax2+bx+c ax^2 + bx + c , where: - a=1 a = 1 (coefficient of s2 s^2 ), - b=8d b = 8d (coefficient of sd sd ), - c=15d2 c = 15d^2 (constant term).

STEP 4

Determine the factors of the quadratic trinomial. We need to find two numbers that multiply to ac=115d2=15d2 a \cdot c = 1 \cdot 15d^2 = 15d^2 and add to b=8d b = 8d .
The numbers that satisfy these conditions are 3d 3d and 5d 5d .

STEP 5

Rewrite the middle term 8sd 8sd using the numbers found:
s2+3sd+5sd+15d2 s^2 + 3sd + 5sd + 15d^2

STEP 6

Factor by grouping:
Group the terms: (s2+3sd)+(5sd+15d2) (s^2 + 3sd) + (5sd + 15d^2) .
Factor each group:
s(s+3d)+5d(s+3d) s(s + 3d) + 5d(s + 3d)

STEP 7

Factor out the common binomial factor:
(s+3d)(s+5d) (s + 3d)(s + 5d)
The factored form of the expression is:
(s+3d)(s+5d) \boxed{(s + 3d)(s + 5d)}
