Question

20. Factor the trinomial.

Answer 1

Factors of 40: (1, 40) (2, 20) (4, 10) (5, 8)

---Using these factors will help us find a pair that adds up to -13 and multiplies to equal 40

-5 + -8 = -13

-5 x -8 = 40

(v - 8)(v - 5)

The trinomial can be factored into the following expression (v - 8)(v - 5).

Hope this helps!
