How do you factor this- calculus?

10x^2 + 25x + 1 Im supposed to factor this into two ( - ) ( -) that when multiplies together will give me those same numbers, does anyone out there know?

It's not a pretty result. Easier to factor is 25x^2 +10x +1 = (5x +1)(5x+1) or (5x +1) ^2

Have you done the Quadratic Formula yet?
