Question

Which of the following represents the factorization of the trinomial below?x²+13x-30Using these 4 as possible awnsersA. (x-3)(x+10)B. (x-3)(x-10)C. (x-2)(x-15)D. (x-2)(x+15)

Answer 1

D. (x - 2)(x + 15)

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorize x²+13x-30, we need to find two numbers that add to 13 and multiply to -30.

These numbers are -2 and 15 because

-2 + 15 = 13

-2(15) = -30

Therefore, the factorization is

D. (x - 2)(x + 15)
