Answer:
(D) -k2 + k - 13
Step-by-step explanation:
Pulling out like terms :
2.1 Pull out like factors :
-k2 + k - 13 = -1 • (k2 - k + 13)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.2 Factoring k2 - k + 13
The first term is, k2 its coefficient is 1 .
The middle term is, -k its coefficient is -1 .
The last term, "the constant", is +13
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 1 • 13 = 13
Step-2 : Find two factors of 13 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -1 .
-13 + -1 = -14
-1 + -13 = -14
1 + 13 = 14
13 + 1 = 14
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Final result :
-k2 + k - 13

The information's given in the question should be very minutely checked. Based on those given information's the answer to the question can easily be deduced.
Amount of sugar in the cabinet of Cassie = 1/2 pound
Amount of sugar required by Cassie to make her cake recipe = 2/10 pound
= 1/5 pounds
Then
The number of cakes that Cassie can make = (1/2)/(1/5)
= 5/2
= 2 1/2
So from the above deduction we can easily conclude that Cassie can make a total of 2 cakes with the sugar she has and there will still be some sugar left.
