Question

PLEASE HELP?

Rewrite the function in factored form (show your work)

Standard form for the function is:
p(x)=-5x^+120x-315
​​

Answer 1

-5(x-21)(x-3)

Explanation:

-5
`x^(2)` + 120x - 315 = -5(
`x^(2)` - 24x + 63)

= -5(
`x^(2)` - 3x - 21x + 63)

= -5[x(x-3) - 21(x-3)]

= -5[(x-21)(x-3)]
