HELP SOMEONE PLEASE Factor completely 10x2 + 2x − 8. 2 (5x − 1)(x + 4) 2(5x − 4)(x + 1) 2(5x + 2)(x − 2) 2(5x − 2)(x + 2)

2(5x - 4)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

10x^2 + 2x − 8 =

First, factor out the GCF of all terms which is 2.

= 2(5x^2 + x - 4)

5x^2 factors into 5x and x.

= 2(5x      )(x       )

-4 factors into -4 and 1, -1 and 4, and -2 and 2. Use the set of two factors in the proper positions that will give the middle term.

= 2(5x - 4)(x + 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewrite 2x as 10x - 8x.

Factor out the two groups.

Take x+1 as a common factor.

Factor 10x - 8.

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."
