factor the following trinomials. (hint: solve the equations first.) x^2−2x−2

Given a polynomial p(x) with leading coefficient and solutions , we have

That's why we have to find the solutions first. We complete the square by adding 3 to both sides:

From here, we continue by taking the square root of both sides:

So, the two solutions are

Which yields the factorization

8(-10x+3.5y-7)

8×-10x + 8×3.5y + 8×-7

-80x + 28y - 56

therefore

-80x+28y-56 is the correct answer
