Solution

The given expression is 3x2+10x+3. (Coefficient of x2=3, coefficient of x=10 and constant term=3)We will split the coefficient of x into two parts such that their sum is 10 and their product equals the product of the coefficient of x2 and the constant term, i.e., 3×3=9.Now, 9+1=10 and 9×1=9Replacing the middle term 10x by 9x+x, we have:3x2+10x+3=3x2+9x+x+3 =(3x2+9x)+(x+3) =3x(x+3)+(x+3) =(3x+1)(x+3)
