Question:

Factorize:

$5 \sqrt{5} x^{2}+20 x+3 \sqrt{5}$

 

Solution:

We have:

$5 \sqrt{5} x^{2}+20 x+3 \sqrt{5}$

We have to split 20 into two numbers such that their sum is 20 and their product is 75.
Clearly, 

$15+5=20$ and $15 \times 5=75$

$\therefore 5 \sqrt{5} x^{2}+20 x+3 \sqrt{5}=5 \sqrt{5} x^{2}+15 x+5 x+3 \sqrt{5}$

$=5 x(\sqrt{5} x+3)+\sqrt{5}(\sqrt{5} x+3)$

$=(\sqrt{5} x+3)(5 x+\sqrt{5})$
