Answer 10

So basically, you admit that you did not use any strategy to come up with D, which means you're essentially guessing, which is okay because we've all guessed at one point or another.

Answer 11

But, here's a bit of information that can help you out:

For a polynomial of the form \(ax^2 + bx + c\), the expression is factorable if \(b^2 = 4ac\) is a perfect square. Otherwise, it is prime.

Answer 12

So, basically, your first step is to figure out whether \(b^2 - 4ac\) is factorable first before doing anything else.

Answer 13

Sorry \(b^2 - 4ac\) not \(b^2 = 4ac\)
