Answer 1

B) 4(2
`x^(5)` +
`x^(2)` - 3)

Answer 2

Option (a) is correct.

The given polynomial
`8x^5+4x^2-12` can be factorized as
`4(2x^5+x^2-3)`

Explanation:

Given : Polynomial
`8x^5+4x^2-12`

We have to factorize the given polynomial
`8x^5+4x^2-12` and choose the correct out of given options.

Consider the given polynomial
`8x^5+4x^2-12`

Taking 4 common from each term, we have,

`8x^5+4x^2-12=4(2x^5+x^2-3)`

Since, we cannot factorize the expression
`2x^5+x^2-3` further using any factorization technique.

So , the given polynomial
`8x^5+4x^2-12` can be factorized as
`4(2x^5+x^2-3)`

Thus, Option (a) is correct.
