Question 5 • Algebra I

Which factors can be multiplied together to make the trinomial 5⁢x2+8⁢x−4? Choose two correct answers. 5 x squared negative 2 x 10 x negative 4

Answer
A
x plus 2
B
5 x negative 2
C
2 x plus 1
D
5 x plus 1
E
x plus 1

Explanation

Multiply the factors (x + 2) and (5x − 2). The product is 5x² + 10x − 2x − 4, which simplifies to 5x² + 8x − 4. So the correct factors are “x plus 2” and “5x minus 2.”
