Eric received a gift card worth 5 as a birthday present he is spending 2.50 using the gift card as shown in the graph below which statement is true about the linear function that represents his gift card spending

(x + 5)(2x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2x² + 11x + 5

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 2 × 5 = + 10 and sum = + 11

The factors are + 10 and + 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

2x² + 10x + x + 5 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 2x(x + 5) + 1 (x + 5) ← factor out (x + 5 from each term

= (x + 5)(2x + 1) ← in factored form
