What is the factorization of the polynomial below 2x^2+28x+98 a. (x+7)(x+2) b. 2(x+7)(x+7) c. (x+7)(x+14) d. (2x+7)(x+7)

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

 Choice B, 2(x+7)(x+7)

Discussion:

For 2 out of each term in the polynomial:

2x^2+28x+98 =

2( x^2 + 14x + 49).

Note the 14 = 7 + 7 and 49 = 7*7 sp the polynomial factors as

2 (x+7)^2

which is choice B.

Thank you,

MrB

step-by-step explanation:

28-600w < 300

28-600w > 300

600-28w < 300

600-28w > 300

irrational, cannot
