Question: Which of the following represents the factored form of x^2 + 7x + 10?

Options:

1. (x + 5)(x + 2)
2. (x + 10)(x - 1)
3. (x - 5)(x - 2)
4. (x + 1)(x + 10)

Correct Answer: (x + 5)(x + 2)

Solution:

To factor x^2 + 7x + 10, we look for two numbers that multiply to 10 and add to 7. The numbers 5 and 2 work, so the factored form is (x + 5)(x + 2).
