Factorize 2x^2 + 3sqrt5x + 5 - Mathematics

Factorize `2x^2 + 3sqrt5x + 5`

Splitting the middle term,

`= 2x^2 + 2sqrt5x + sqrt5x + 5` `[∵ 3sqrt5 = 2sqrt5 + sqrt5 " also " 2sqrt5 xx 5]`

`= 2x(x + sqrt5) + sqrt5(x + sqrt5)`

`= (x + sqrt5)(2x + sqrt5)`

`∴ 2x^2 + 3sqrt5x + 5 = (x = sqrt5)(2x + sqrt5)`
