Question

Which expression represents -8x^2+54x+140 in factored form?

A. (x-70)(-8x+2)
B. (x+1)(8x- 140
C. (x-8)(2x+70)
D. (x+2)(-8x+70)​

Answer 1

D. (x+2)(-8x+70)​

Explanation:

-8x^2+54x+140

Factor out -2

-2(4x^2+27x+70)

Factor

-2(x+2)(4x-35)

Option D is the same answer if we multiply -2 in the second term

(x+2) (-8x+70)
