Question
Factorise:$\sqrt{5}\text{x}^2+2\text{x}-3\sqrt{5}$
✓
Answer
We have: We have to split 2 into numbers such that their sum is 2 and product is (-15), i.e., $\sqrt{5}\times\big(-3\sqrt{5}\big)$ Clearly, 5 + (-3) = 2 and 5 × (-3) = -15.$\therefore\ \sqrt{5}\text{x}^2+2\text{x}-3\sqrt{5}$
$=\sqrt{5}\text{x}^2+5\text{x}-3\text{x}-3\sqrt{5}$
$=\sqrt{5}\text{x}\big(\text{x}+\sqrt{5}\big)-3\big(\text{x}+\sqrt{5}\big)$
$=\big(\text{x}+\sqrt{5}\big)\big(\sqrt{5}\text{x}-3\big)$
$=\sqrt{5}\text{x}^2+5\text{x}-3\text{x}-3\sqrt{5}$
$=\sqrt{5}\text{x}\big(\text{x}+\sqrt{5}\big)-3\big(\text{x}+\sqrt{5}\big)$
$=\big(\text{x}+\sqrt{5}\big)\big(\sqrt{5}\text{x}-3\big)$
