Question

What is the factored form of the expression 2m^3 -26m^2+80m?
Who can team up with me ?

Answer 1

ANSWER 2m(m-8)(m-5)

Step-by-step explanation

Factor the expression: 2m(m²-13m+40)

Rewrite the term: 2m(m²-8m-5m+40)

Regroup terms into two proportional parts : 2m((m²-8m)+(-5m+40))

Factor the expression: 2m(m(m-8)-5(m-8))

Factor the expression: 2m(m-8)(m-5)

Answer: 2m(m-8)(m-5)
