Sophie has factored the term completely while Carlos has not factored the term completely.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the trinomial:

-4x^2-10x + 6

Factoring:

-4x^2-10x + 6\\Taking\,\,-2\,\,common:\\-2(2x^2+5x-3)\\Now\,\,factoring:\\-2(2x^2+6x-x-3)\\-2(2x(x+3)-1(x+3))\\-2(2x-1)(x+3)

So, the factored form of -4x^2-10x + 6 is -2(2x-1)(x+3)

So, Sophie has factored the term completely. The terms are factored when we cannot further simplify it. Since Carlos factored (x+3)(-4x+2) 2 can be taken common from the term (-4x+2) so, it is not factored completely.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the triangle on the bottom right the missing angle is

180- (74+50)= 56°

For the triangle on the bottom left the missing angle is

180- (45+80)= 55°

For the triangle in the middle the missing angle is

180- (54+51)= 75°

For the triangle on top the missing angle is

180- (80+54)= 46°

180- (74+51)= 55°

180- (46+55)= 79°
