4(3r^2 - 14r + 20)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

4 times 14 is not 64

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

4(3r^2 - 16r + 20)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

OpenStudy (calculusxy):

4( 3r^2 + 10r + 6r + 20) 3r^2 + 10r + 6r + 20 => r(3r + 10) 2(3r + 10) 4(r + 2)(3r + 10)
