It would be C and here's why:
you originally start with 3x² - 14x - 5.  The AC method to factoring says you have to get two middle terms that multiply to whatever 3 × -5 is and have to add to -14. Well 3 × -5 is -15. Raul chose two middle terms of 15x and -1x and 15 × -1 is -15 so that part is correct. However 15 - 1 = 14. The middle term of our original trinomial is -14 so "<span>The two middle coefficients multiply to the correct number, but do not add to the correct number."</span>

Find the value of x such that the data set has a mean of 103.<br><br> 99,122,103,113,109,x
Mashcka [7]
That means the average of all data point equal:

(99+122+103+113+109+x)/6 = 103
===> (546+x)/6 = 103===> 546+x=618 & x=618-546=72, so x =72

What are the real zeros of the function g(x) = x3 + 2x2 − x − 2?
Nat2105 [25]
Upon a slight rearrangement this problem gets a lot simpler to see.

x^3-x+2x^2-2=0  now factor 1st and 2nd pair of terms...

x(x^2-1)+2(x^2-1)=0

(x+2)(x^2-1)=0  now the second factor is a "difference of square" of the form:

(a^2-b^2) which always factors to (a+b)(a-b), in this case:

(x+2)(x+1)(x-1)=0

So g(x) has three real zero when x={-2, -1, 1}
