Factor the following expression
10x^5+5x^3-14x^2-7-

C. (5x^3-7)(2x^2+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is,

10x^5+5x^3-14x^2-7

=10x^5-14x^2 + 5x^3 - 7  (By the commutative property)

=2x^2(5x^3-7)+5x^3-7     (Taking 2x^3 common from first two terms )

=(5x^3-7)(2x^2+1)      (Taking 5x^3-7 common from both terms)

\implies 10x^5+5x^3-14x^2-7=(5x^3-7)(2x^2+1)

Hence, Option C is correct

1. 22

2. 1

3. 7

4. 18

b) 1/3 * 1/5

step-by-step explanation:

each smallest part is 1/15 since the written one is 1/5 and it's divided by 3 equal parts. (1/5 )/3 = 1/15 = 1/3 * 1/5
