Answer to Problem 26CT
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Calculations: We have
We need to compare given quadratic with standard quadratic
Now, we need to get the values of a, b and c and apply product
On comparing given quadratic
Product of value of a and c =
Value of
Now, we need to get two factors of -20 those add up to
We could see
So, split middle term
Now, making it into two groups and factor out Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of each group
Factor out Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
Factor out the common parenthesis
Therefore, the factors of
