Which polynomial can be factored over the set of polynomials with integer coefficients?

A) x^2+5x+10
B) x^2+5x-14
C) x^2-5x-10
D) x^2+5x+14

I am not sure how to do this problem? I have looked through my text book and its really confusing? Can someone explain perhaps?
 
Hint: Study what your book tells you about the discriminant (from the Quadratic Formula). Then apply that to each of the listed quadratics.

i'll show you an example i guess and study it quick!

x^2 + 4x + 4
=
(x + 2)(x + 2)

unless it's something like this, tell me
i'm pretty sure this is it though, ^^ have fun
