Question

Factoring trinomials: 8)-2x2 + 8x + 10 *

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hey, there!!

Let's do it simply, ok.

Given that,

`= - 2 {x}^(2) + 8x + 10`

Take (-2) common to make it easy.

`= -2( 2 {x}^(2) - 8x - 10)`

= -2{ x^2-(5-1)x -5}

Multily with x,

= -2 {x^2-5x+x-5}

Taking common,

= -2{x(x-5) +1(x-5)

= -2{(x+1)(x-5)}...is your required answer.

Hope it helps...

Answer 2

-2(x - 5)(x + 1)

Explanation:

-2x² + 8x + 10

-2(x² - 4x - 5)

-2(x - 5)(x + 1)
