$2\left(x^2+\frac{5}{2}x-\frac{1}{2}\right)$
Learn how to solve polynomial factorization problems step by step online. Factor the expression 2x^2+5x+-1. Use the complete the square method to factor the trinomial of the form ax^2+bx+c. Take common factor a (2) to all terms. Add and subtract \displaystyle\left(\frac{b}{2a}\right)^2. Factor the perfect square trinomial x^2+\frac{5}{2}xx+\frac{25}{16}. Subtract the values -\frac{1}{2} and -\frac{25}{16}.
