(07.03 LC) Identify the factors of x2 - 8x - 20. (1 point)
O (x + 4Nx - 5)
O (x + 5)(x - 4)
O (x - 10)(x + 2)
O (x-2)(x + 10)

(x - 10)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for two things that multiply together to give us

x^2 - 10x - 20

These things are binomials, such as (x+2) or (x-7) or (x+8) or (x-5)

We know the first term in the binomial has to be x, because x times x is x^2.

And then we are looking for two numbers that multiply to -20 but also add up to -8.

-10 and 2 multiply to make -20 and add up to -8 so we pick the answer (x-10)(x+2)

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

x² - 8x - 20

x² - (10x - 2x) - 20

x² - 10x + 2x - 20

x(x - 10) + 2(x - 10)

(x - 10)(x + 2)

Hence

Option C is correct

after going and makeing graphs i would go with a,

there is nothing that is matches the graph. if there was i would show you. but therefore my answer is a.

hope i
