Chapter 14, Problem 33PT

To determine

To calculate: Check whether the polynomial $p^2+2p+35$ can be factored or not.

Answer to Problem 33PT

The polynomial expression $p^2+2p+35$ cannot be factored.

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

The polynomial expression is $p^2+2p+35$ .

Calculation:

The given polynomial expression is $p^2+2p+35$ .

In the polynomial $p^2+2p+35$ the term $2p$ cannot be split into two parts whose product is equal to the product of $p^2$ and $35$ .

Hence, thepolynomial expression $p^2+2p+35$ cannot be factored.
