Decompose. +24 and -1 are the decomps.

4x^2 + 23x - 6 = 4x^2 + 24x - x - 6

= 4x(x + 6) -(x+6)

= (4x-1)(x+6)

the answer is x+6 and 4x-1

For this case we have the following polynomial:


4x ^ 2 + 23x - 6

Rewriting the polynomial we have:


4x ^ 2 + 24x - x - 6

Then, we can make the following common factor:


4x ^ 2 + 24x - (x + 6)

Then, we do 4x common factor in the other remaining terms:


4x (x + 6) - (x + 6)

Finally, we make x + 6 common factor:


(x + 6) (4x-1)

Answer:

The factored trinomial is:


(x + 6) (4x-1)

Option C and option D.
