Answer:
Part A: Option 2, A: Anna’s answer is incorrect. She correctly factored out 5x, but incorrectly identified a and b, so her answer cannot be correct.
Part B: Option 3, B: 5x(x+2)(x^2−2x+4)
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = 5x^4 + 40x
p(x) = 5x(x^3 + 8)
p(x) = 5x(x + 2)(x^2 - 2x + 4)

Part B: Option 3, B: 5x(x+2)(x^2−2x+4)
Answer:
r(x) = 14x - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
(p×2)(x) = 2×p(x) = 2×(7x - 9) = 14x - 18
