Which of the following is a factor of the polynomial below?

For this case we must indicate which of the options given is a factor of the following polynomial:

If we take common factor of the terms we have:

Within the parenthesis we have , then:

The term of the medium is rewritten as a sum of two terms, whose multiplication is and the sum is -1. These numbers are:

-3 and 2

So;

Factoring for each group we have:

This is equivalent to:

Thus,

Then,

Thus, a factor of the polynomial is

Option A

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3

there are no answer choices
