Prime
Solution
Solution Steps
To factor the trinomial completely, we need to check if it can be expressed as a product of two binomials. We can use the quadratic formula or recognize it as a perfect square trinomial.
Step 1: Identify the Trinomial
We start with the trinomial:
\[ 9r^2 + 30r + 25 \]
Step 2: Factor the Trinomial
We recognize that the trinomial can be factored as a perfect square trinomial. The expression can be written as:
\[ (3r + 5)^2 \]
Step 3: Verify if the Trinomial is Prime
Since we were able to factor the trinomial, it is not a prime polynomial.
Final Answer
The factored form of the trinomial is:
\[ \boxed{(3r + 5)^2} \]
