Hi there!
In order to factor, start by knowing the variables for each term in the equation ax^2+bx+c
A=1
B=-5
C=4
(Based on the given equation)
In order to factor, we need to find two numbers that add to the b term (-5) but multiply to the c term (4)
-4*-1=4
-4+-1=-5
Therefore, the factored form would be y=(x-4)(x-1)

Hope this helps!

Factor the expression using distributive property: 72b + 45

ANTONII [103]

The answer would be 9(8b+5)
this is how you do it...
1. find the GCF of both numbers in this one the GCF would be 9
now, what do you multiply 9 by to get 72... 8, so 8 would go into the parenthesis and because there is a variable there which is 'b' the 8 would become '8b' now what do you multiply 9 with to get 45? '5' so you would add 5 into the parenthesis and that would be your answer!

Hope this helped! :D

Answer:

Im not a 100% sure but my best guess would be the 3rd equation:

f(x) = (x - 1) (x + 3)

Please let me know if I was wrong, but i hope this helped you!
