Answer:
c) x - 4
Step-by-step explanation:
To do a factorization of this kind of trinomial there is a technique very easy to do it.
First, you need to see the numbers that are along with the x and the independent number.
In this case -3 and -4 (I will call them b and c)
Next, you need to think in two numbers that can acomplish the following:
x * y = c
x + y = b
So, first, think, which are two numbers that you can multiply between them to give as a result -4?.
In this case it would be -4 and 1 (-4*1 = -4)
These numbers if you do a sum you'll get -3:
-4 + 1 = -3
So the factorization becomes this:
(x - 4) (x - 1)
So, one of the factors is x - 4. Option c
