Two students, Tony and Mike, factored the trinomial 8x2 − 12x − 8. Tony factored it as 4(x − 2)(2x + 1) and Mike factored it as

(x − 2)(8x + 4). Indicate which student factored the trinomial completely and which student did not, and explain why. (10 points)

Tony and Mike, factored the trinomial 8x^2 - 12x - 8

Tony factored it as 4(x - 2)(2x + 1) and

Mike factored it as (x - 2)(8x + 4)

8x^2 - 12x - 8

GCF is 4. We factor out 4

4(2x^2 - 3x - 2)

2*-2=-4. We find out two factors whose product is -4  and sum is -3

two factors are -4  and 1. Split middle term -3x using two factors

4(2x^2 - 4x + 1x - 2)

Group first two terms and last two terms

4[(2x^2 - 4x) + (1x - 2)]

Factor out GCF from each group

4[2x(x - 2) + 1(x - 2)

4(2x+1)(x-2)

Tony factored it correctly

Mike factored it as (x − 2)(8x + 4)

Mike factor 8x+4 further. GCF of 8 and 4 is 4

So it becomes 4(2x+1)

Mike not factored it completely

Help me please, its due at night today!!!
postnew [5]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of polygon = area of square + area of triangle

Square:

Side = 12 cm

Area of square  = side *side

                          = 12 * 12

                          = 144 sq.cm

Triangle:

base (b) = 12 cm

Height h = 19 cm

Area =\frac{1}{2}bh\\\\=\frac{1}{2}*12*19\\

= 6 * 19

= 114 sq.cm

Area of polygon = 144 + 114 = 258 square cm
