Answer:

(x-3)(x-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

X^2-8x+15

Break the expression into groups

(x^2-3x)+(-5x+15)

Factor out x from x^2-3x

Factor out -5 from -5x+15: -5(x-3)

=x(x-3)-5(x-3)

Factor out common term x-3

=(x-3)(x-5)

Thanks for letting me help!!

Divide -2x^3-5x^2+4x+2 by x+2

erik [133]

Answer:

The correct option is C. $-2x^2-x+6, R(-10)$

Explanation:

Given:

Dividend = -2x^3-5x^2+4x+2

Divider =(x+2)

Solution:

Now by using the division method , we will find out the quotient and remainder of the given equation

And the equation will become

$-2x^3-5x^2+4x+2=(x+2)(-2x^2-x+6)-10$

So , We will get the quotient = $-2x^2-x+6$

And Remainder = -10

Hence the Correct option which perfectly satisfy the given equation is C.
