Q. 5+4m2+7m−m2+3m−19Which of the following is equivalent to the given expression?Choose 1 answer:(A) (3m−4)(m+2)(B) (3m+4)(m−2)(C) (3m−2)(m+4)(D) (3m+2)(m−4)
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms in the expression 5+4m2+7m−m2+3m−13. We combine the m2 terms: 4m2−m2=3m2. We combine the m terms: 7m+3m=10m. We combine the constant terms: 5−13=−8. The simplified expression is 3m2+10m−8.
Factor Quadratic Expression: Factor the quadratic expression 3m2+10m−8. We look for two numbers that multiply to (3)(−8)=−24 and add to 10. The numbers 12 and −2 satisfy these conditions because 12×−2=−24 and 12+(−2)=10. We rewrite the middle term using these numbers: 3m2+12m−2m−8.
Group and Factor: Group the terms to factor by grouping: (3m2+12m)−(2m+8). Factor out the common factor from each group: 3m(m+4)−2(m+4).
Factor Common Binomial: Factor out the common binomial factor (m+4): (3m−2)(m+4).This is the factored form of the expression.
