Answer:

8x2 − 8x − 13

Explanation:

(((3•(x2))+5x)-8)+((5x2-13x)-5)

((3x2 + 5x) - 8) + (5x2 - 13x - 5)

Factoring 8x2-8x-13

The first term is, 8x2 its coefficient is 8 .

The middle term is, -8x its coefficient is -8 .

The last term, "the constant", is -13

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 8 • -13 = -104

Step-2 : Find two factors of -104 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -8 .

-104 + 1 = -103

-52 + 2 = -50

-26 + 4 = -22

-13 + 8 = -5

-8 + 13 = 5

-4 + 26 = 22

-2 + 52 = 50

-1 + 104 = 103

Observation : No two such factors can be found !!

Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

Final result :

8x2 - 8x - 13 ✅

= 3x^2 + 5x^2 = 8x^2

5x - 13x = -8x

-8 + -5 = -13

=> 8x^2 - 8x - 13

: B
