Question

Factor this polynomial.

-3x²-5x-2

A. (-3x+2)(x+1)

B. (3x-2)(x-1)

C. (3x+2)(x-1)

D. -1(3x+2)(x+1)

Answer 1

Answer: D. -1(3x+2)(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation: First, use the F.O.I.L. method (First, Outer, Inner, Last). Then combine all your like terms. After, multiply the whole outcome by negative one. So, 3
`x^(2)` turns into -3
`x^(2)`; 5x turns into -5x; and 2 is -2. BOOM! you got the exact right answer.
