We are assuming that you meant to say .36x^2 instead of .36x. If this is the case, then this is easily factored.

You can make an expression like this easier to factor by simply multiplying through by 100 first. If we do that, then your expression becomes:

36x^2 + 60x + 25.

Now the decimal points are gone and this doesn't seem as daunting as it would to some people as the other form might.

36x^2 + 60x + 25 easily factors into (6x + 5)(6x + 5) = (6x + 5)^2

Now we have to deal with the fact that we multiplied the original expression by 100. Since our factors are a perfect square, and so is 100, then we can divide each factor through by 1/10 to return it to decimal form.

So the final factored form of your expression is:

(.6x + .5)(.6x + .5) = (.6x + .5)^2.

.36x+.6x+.25
= .96x+.25
Ans= 0.96(1.x+0.260417)

I assuning .36x is .36x²

.36x² + .6x + .25

(.6x + .5)(.6x + .5)

.42x+.25 (you may have left something out like ^2)
