Grade: 1300-a Lesson: S2-L1

Explanation: Hello Students, time to practice and review the steps for the problem.

Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

Factorize the quadratic expression: \$3x^2 - 10x - 8 \$.

2

Step

Take the factors of the above equation

\$ 3x^2 - 12x + 2x - 8 \$

3

Step

Organize the terms into groups and extract the largest common factor

\$ (3x^2 - 12x) + (2x - 8) \$

⇒ \$3x(x - 4) + 2(x - 4)\$

4

Step

Observe the shared binomial factor (x - 4) present in both expressions.

5

Hint

Combine the terms by finding and using the common factor

\$(x - 4)(3x + 2)\$

6

Step

The quadratic expression \$3x^2 - 10x - 8\$ is fully factorized as \$(x - 4)(3x + 2)\$.

7

Choice.A

This is correct because the expanded form corresponds accurately with the quadratic equation

(x - 4)(3x + 2)

8

Choice.B

This is incorrect as the expanded form does not correspond to the quadratic equation

(x - 4)(3x - 2)

9

Choice.C

This is incorrect as the expanded form does not correspond to the quadratic equation

(x + 4)(3x + 2)

10

Choice.D

This is incorrect as the expanded form does not correspond to the quadratic equation

(x - 4)(3x + 3)

Answer

Option

A
