Quadratic Equations $ax^2+bx+c=0$

Factorizing $ax^2+bx+c$

Expand $\left(\color{#0275d8}{2x}+\color{#d9534f}{3}\right)\left(\color{#d9534f}{x}+\color{#0275d8}{1}\right)=$ $x^2+$ $\color{#0275d8}{x}+$ $\color{#d9534f}{x}+$

$=$ $x^2+$ $x+$

So, to factorize $2x^2+5x+3$
$\color{#0275d8}{x}$ ╳
$\color{#d9534f}{1x}$
where if you cross multiply and add, you get the middle term $5x$

Therefore, $2x^2+5x+3=\left(2x+3\right)\left(x+1\right)$
