Pls guve me sol. Factors?

Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

We have quadratic equation :  x2 + 2 x  +  3 

We know quadratic formula :  x  = - b ± b2 - 4ac2 a , Here a = 1 , b  = 2 and c  = 3 

So,

x  = - 2 ± 22 - 4× 1 × 32 × 1 = - 2 ± 4 - 122= - 2 ± - 82= - 2 ± 2 i22= - 1 ± i2
Then,

Factors  =  ( x - ( - 1 - i2 ) = ( x + 1 + i2 )

And

( x - ( - 1 + i2 ) = ( x + 1 - i2 )

Therefore,

x2 + 2 x  +  3   = ( x + 1 + i2 ) ( x + 1 - i2 )                                              ( Ans )

The answer is below:

x2 + 2x + 3
x+ 3x - x + 3
x (x + 3) - 1 (x +3)
(x - 1) (x + 3)
Therefore, x-1 and x+3 are factors of x2 + 2x + 3
