How do you factor the expression \[5{{x}^{2}}-8x+3\]?

Hint: In this problem, we have to find the factor of the given expression by factorization method. We can first split the middle term, i.e. the x term with its coefficient. We have to expand the middle term i.e. the x term with its coefficient in such a way that their addition is equal to the middle term i.e. -8x, and multiplication is equal to \[5\times 3\]. We can then take common terms outside to get the factors.

Complete step by step solution:
We know that the given expression is,
\[5{{x}^{2}}-8x+3\]
We can first split the middle term to form factors.
We have to expand the middle term i.e. the x term with its coefficient in such a way that their addition is equal to the middle term i.e. -8x, and multiplication is equal to \[5\times 3\].
\[\Rightarrow 5{{x}^{2}}-5x-3x+3\]
We can now take the first two terms and the last two terms to take common terms outside, we get
\[\Rightarrow \left( 5{{x}^{2}}-5x \right)+\left( -3x+3 \right)\]
Now we can take the common terms outside, we get
\[\Rightarrow 5x\left( x-1 \right)-3\left( x-1 \right)\]
We can again take the common factor first then the remaining terms to make a factor, we get
\[\Rightarrow \left( 5x-3 \right)\left( x-1 \right)\]
Therefore, the factors are \[\left( 5x-3 \right)\left( x-1 \right)\].

Note: We can also verify for the correct answer using the quadratic formula.
The quadratic formula for the equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c\] is
\[x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{{{b}^{2}}-4ac}}{2a}\]
 We know that the given expression is,
\[5{{x}^{2}}-8x+3\]
Where, a = 5, b = -8, c = 3.
We can substitute the above values in quadratic formula.
\[\begin{align}
  & \Rightarrow x=\dfrac{8\pm \sqrt{64-60}}{10} \\
 & \Rightarrow x=\dfrac{8\pm 2}{10} \\
 & \Rightarrow x=1,\dfrac{3}{5} \\
\end{align}\]
Where,\[x=1,x=\dfrac{3}{5}\]
We can take the term in the right-hand side, to the left-hand side by changing its sign.
\[\left( x-1 \right)\left( 5x-3 \right)\]
Therefore, the factors are \[\left( 5x-3 \right)\left( x-1 \right)\].
