Question

Two students factored 2x^2 + 6x - 20. Leuko said that the factorization was (2x - 4)(x + 5). Ray gave the factorization as (x - 2)(2x + 10). Confirm that both of these factorizations are correct. Then explain why they are not complete.

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

If you FOIL both of them, you see that they are both correct, but they both need to factor out a 2 and then they will both have the same thing.

2(x - 2)(x + 5)

Answer 2

Answer: To confirm the equations to be equal with the parent function we do as follows:

(2x – 4)(x + 5) = 2x^2 + 10x - 4x - 20 = 2x^2 + 6x -20

(x – 2)(2x + 10) = 2x^2 +10x - 4x -20 = 2x^2 +6x - 20
