Find the largest value of n such that 5x^2+nx+40 can be factored as the product of two linear factors with integer coefficients.     

 

I think the factors would be     (5x + 1)(x + 40)     

                        multiplies to      5x2 + 201x + 40     

                                        so      n = 201     

.
