The answer is C) 2h + 1

First i factored out the negative sign, then i split the second term into two terms, then i factored out the common terms and i got -(h + 7) (2h + 1).

Answer:

One of the factor is (2h+1)

Explanation:


-2h^2-15h-7

Take out negative sign in common


-(2h^2+15h+7)

Now factor the parenthesis

To factor this , we find out two factors whose product is 14 and sum is 15


-(2h^2+h+14h+7)

Break first two terms and last two terms


-(2h^2+h)+(14h+7)


-h(2h+1)+7(2h+1)


(-h+7)(2h+1)


(7-h)(2h+1)

One of the factor is (2h+1)
