!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!MEDAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol this looks so desperate anyways! Factor completely: 2x3 + 10x2 + 4x + 20 2(x3 + 5x2 + 2x + 10) 2[(x + 5)(x2 + 2)] (2x + 10)(x2 + 2) (x + 5)(2x2 + 4)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

let's first group them in 2 sets of 2 guys \(\bf 2x^3 + 10x^2 + 4x + 20\\ (2x^3 + 10x^2) + (4x + 20)\) can you get common factor for each pair there?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the x's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

am i right?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

just ahemm "x"s? let's see how many common factors are there \(\bf (2x^3 + 10x^2) + (4x + 20) \implies (2xxx + (2)(5)xx) + (4x + (4)(5))\)

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so, can you get common factors for each pair?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lmaoo ahemm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to be super honest. I am blind with variables and stuff like this

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

ok, let's take one pair at a time what's is common in these 2 terms => \(\bf 2xxx + (2)(5)xx \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^3 andx^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2x^3 and 5x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think the answer is D

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm well 2xxx, has x^3 10xx, only has 2 xx, so it doesn't have x^3 in common

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol leave me alone
