Answer 1

It is D

Explanation:

Answer 2

Option (d) is correct.

The factored form of given expression
`-5x^3+10x^2` becomes
`-5x^2(x-2)`.

Explanation:

Given : expression
`-5x^3+10x^2`

We have to factorize the given expression completely.

Consider the given expression
`-5x^3+10x^2`

We can take the highest common factors from both the terms of the given expression that is
`-5x^2`

So, the factors becomes,

`-5x^2(x-2)`

Thus, The factored form of given expression
`-5x^3+10x^2` becomes
`-5x^2(x-2)`.
