Question

Which expression represents -8x2 + 54x + 140 in factored form?

Answer 1

First you can factor out a -2 from the original expression
-2(4x²-27x-70)
Then, use any method you're familiar with to factor (4x²-27x-70)= (x+2)(4x-35) ***

***I used the "AC method" Let me know if you'd like me to explain this part

So the expression -2(x+2)(4x-35) is the same as the original
