### Polynomial Factoring: Factor by Grouping

#### Problem
1. Factor the polynomial \(2x^2 + 11x + 5\) by grouping.

To factor by grouping, follow these steps:

1. **Identify Grouping Candidates**: Look for terms that can be grouped into pairs.
2. **Factor Each Group**: Find the greatest common factor (GCF) of each group.
3. **Combine the Groups**: If the expressions inside the parentheses are the same, factor them out.

If needed, provide additional explanations or examples to aid understanding.
