Factor the polynomial:
4u² – 20u + 25
Rewrite – 20u as – 10u – 10u, and then factor it by grouping:
= 4u² – 10u – 10u + 25
= 2u * (2u – 5) – 5 * (2u – 5)
= (2u – 5) * (2u – 5)
= (2u – 5)² <––– this is the answer.
I hope this helps. =)
The term in that equation is 3x 7x and -9 hope this helps
ANSWER
B. The two middle coefficients add to the correct number but do not multiply to the correct number.
EXPLANATION
The given quadratic trinomial that Tina tries to factor is

Comparing to

we have a=10, b=-13 and c=-3
ac=-3×10=-30
We split the middle term so that their sum is -13.
Tina use
-10,-3
to get
-10x-3x
The sum is -13x alright but the product is not -30.
B is correct.
