Identify expression: Identify the expression and check if it can be factored or simplified further.Calculation: 3p2−2p−5This is a quadratic expression and does not factor neatly with simple methods.
Check for factors: Since the expression cannot be factored easily, check if any common factors exist.Calculation: The terms 3p2, −2p, and −5 do not share any common factors other than 1.
Check common factors: Conclude that the expression is already in its simplest form.Calculation: Final simplified form = 3p2−2p−5
