Question 8 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

Which is the factorization of 8x2 + 13x – 6?

Answer
A
(8x – 3)(x + 2)
B
(x – 6)(8x + 1)
C
(2x – 2)(4x + 3)
D
(4x – 1)(2x + 6)

Explanation

To check the factorization, multiply (8x − 3)(x + 2): 8x² + 16x − 3x − 6. Combine the middle terms to get 8x² + 13x − 6, which matches the expression. So the correct choice is A, (8x − 3)(x + 2).
