What is the factorization of 3x² - 8x + 5?

Solution:

Given 3x² - 8x + 5

This is a polynomial of degree 2

Quadratic equations are second-degree algebraic expressions and are of the form ax² + bx + c = 0.

= 3x² - 3x - 5x + 5

= 3x(x - 1) - 5(x - 1)

= (3x - 5)(x - 1)

(3x - 5), (x - 1) are the factors.

What is the factorization of 3x² - 8x + 5?

Summary:

The factorization of 3x² - 8x + 5 is (3x - 5)(x - 1).
