A financial analyst is modeling cost projections using the trinomial expression x2+2x+5x^2 + 2x + 5. After systematically checking all integer factor pairs of the constant term (5), they discover that no pair adds up to the middle coefficient (2), meaning the expression cannot be factored into the product of two binomials with integer coefficients. This type of expression is known as a ____ trinomial.
