Question

A 2-column table with 2 rows. The labels for the columns and rows are blank. First column entries are 5 x squared, 10 x. Second column entries are negative 2 x, negative 4. Which factors can be multiplied together to make the trinomial 5x2 + 8x – 4? Select two options. (x + 1) (2x + 1) (x + 2) (5x + 1) (5x – 2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

(5x – 2) and (x + 2)

Explanation:

In order to know the two factors we are to multiply together to get the trinomial function 5x² + 8x – 4, we need to factorize the quadratic function given. On factorizing;

`= 5x^(2) +8x-4\\= (5x^(2) +10x)-(2x-4)\\\\factoring\ out\ the\ common\ term\\= 5x(x+2)-2(x+2)\\= (5x-2)(x+2)\\`

The factors that can be multiplied together are (5x – 2) and (x + 2)
