Question

How do you solve 13y^2-5yx-8x^2

Answer 1

Step 1 :Simplify 13y2-5yx - 23x2
1.1 Factoring 13y2 - 5yx - 8x2 Try to factor this multi-variable trinomial using trial and error Found a factorization : (y - x)•(13y + 8x)
Final result : (y - x) • (13y + 8x)

Answer 2

(13y+8)(y-x)

Explanation:

13
`y^(2)`- 5yx -8
`x^(2)`

we can solve above equation by using splitting the middle term

we can factorize it by splitting the middle term

13
`y^(2)`- 5yx -8
`x^(2)`

=13
`y^(2)`- 13yx+8yx -8
`x^(2)`

=13y(y-x)+8x(y-x)

=(13y+8)(y-x)

There are the two factors because the degree of the polynomial is 2

Hence, the correct answer is (13y+8)(y-x)
