Please help me quick

Determine the factors of x2 − 12x − 20.

(x − 2)(x + 10)
(x − 10)(x + 2)
(x − 5)(x + 4)
Prime

Answer 1

The answer is prime

Explanation:

I took the test

Answer 2

For this case we must indicate the factors of the following expression:

`x ^ 2-12x-20`

To factor we must find two numbers that when multiplied result in -20 and when added, result in -12.

There are no two numbers that meet this condition. Thus, the expression is not factorizable with rational numbers.

Answer:

The expression is not factorizable with rational numbers.
