GCF = –2 GCF = 5x
Factor out the GCF: –2(x2 – 1) + 5x(x2 – 1)
Which product of prime polynomials is equivalent to the original polynomial?
(–2 – 5x)(x2 – 1)
(–2 + 5x)(x2 – 1)
(–2 – 5x)(x – 1)(x + 1)
(–2 + 5x)(x – 1)(x + 1)
Answer:
Option D is correct
Step-by-step explanation:
The original polynomial is:
–2x2 + 2 + 5x3 – 5x
Arranging in decreasing power of x:
Factoring the given polynomial by grouping:
Now, (x^2-1) can be further solved using formula:
(a^2-b^2)=(a-b)(a+b)
Solving:
So, represents the factors of
Hence Option D is correct.
