Factorize the equation : 1x² + 2x + 1

STEP-1

First of all multiply constant term and coefficient of x² that is 1 so 1 * 1 = 1
2

1
(1 * 1)

STEP-2

Now split the coefficient of x that is 2 in two part so that their multiplication equals to 1 and their addition equals to 2 so
1 * 1 = 1 ( Constant Term )
1 + 1 = 2 ( Coefficient of middile term )

STEP-3

so the factor will be-
( x + 1) ( x + 1)

If we have to calulate zeros then-
x + 1 = 0 or x + 1 = 0
x = - 1 or x = - 1
