ANSWER

EXPLANATION
The given quadratic trinomial is

Comparing to the general quadratic trinomial:

We have a=1, b=10 and c=-8

The factors of -24 that adds up to 10 are -2 and 12.
We split the middle term to obtain;

Factor;

Factor further;

The last option is correct.
For this case we have the following polynomial:
7x2 + 68xy - 20y2
Factoring we have:
(7x-2y) (x + 10y)
We verify the factorization:
7x2 + 70xy - 2xy - 20y2
Rewriting we have:
7x2 + 68xy - 20y2
Therefore, the factorization is correct.
Answer:
A) (7x - 2y) (x + 10y)
This would be an exponential function.
Exponential functions are of the form
y = a*bˣ, where a is the initial value, b is the rate the function changes by, and x is the time period. Since this triples, b would be 3.
Answer:
-80
Step-by-step explanation:
→ Complete the multiplication
20 × 8 = 160
→ Complete the take away
3 - 5 = -2
→ Divide the two answers from each other
160 ÷ -2 = -80
