Question

Factor the following polynomial fully.

Answer 1

Answer:

2(x + 2)(5x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to factorize the given polynomial

We have this as follows;

10x^2 + 20x - 4x -8

10x(x + 2) - 4(x + 2)

= (10x-4)(x + 2)

We can factor the first side by bringing out two and we will have;

10x-4 = 2(5x-2)

and hence;

2(x + 2)(5x-2)
