wow lol @TheSmartOne looked at the problem and left XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Lol is this just a medal question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would go with c but I'm not 100% sure

OpenStudy (yaya090600):

i was thinking A but im stupid :P

OpenStudy (yaya090600):

Grrr i put A and i got it wrong lol

OpenStudy (yaya090600):

i guess its C then XD

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

I left because I had to go

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

but I'll post the solution:

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(x^{3}-4x^{2}-5x+20 = ( x^{2}-5 )( x-4 )\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\begin{aligned} x^{3}-4x^{2}-5x+20 = ( \color{blue}{ x^{3}-4x^{2} } ) + ( \color{red}{ -5x+20 }) &= \\ &= \color{blue}{ x^{2}( x-4 )} + \color{red}{ -5( x-4 ) } = \\ &= (x^{2}-5)(x-4) \end{aligned}\)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Set them equal to 0, and one solution is x = 4 and x^2 - 5 = 0 x^2 = 5 x = plus or minus sqrt of 5

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

answer would have been b :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Just in case anyone asks why I gave a direct answer, the asker asked it 5 minutes ago, and let with a wrong answer and also submitted a wrong answer, so yeah yolo
