Question

factor please!!!!!!!!!
5x^2-22x+8

Answer 1

\[5X^2-22x+8\]

Answer 2

To factor this, we cannot simplify by distribution so.
Multiply a * c.
5*8=40
Now we need two numbers that have a product of 40 and a sum of -22.
-20*-2=40
-20+-2=-22
Replace -20x-2x for -22x. Separate by grouping.
(5x^2-20x)(-40x+8)
We can simplify these factors by factoring out some numbers.
5x(x-4)*-8(x-4)
*Note that they both have (x+4) in common*
Combine 5x and -8 since they have a common factor.
(5x-8)(x-4)
Aaand You're done. good luck (:
