Q.

  1. Jude's factoring: Jude's factoring: Jude factored 28x228x^{2} as (14x)(2x2)(14x)(2x^{2}). Let's check if this is correct by multiplying the factors together. (14x)×(2x2)=28x3(14x) \times (2x^{2}) = 28x^{3}, not 28x228x^{2}. This is not the correct factoring of 28x228x^{2} because the result should be 28x228x^{2}, not 28x328x^{3}.
  2. Yasmin's factoring: Yasmin's factoring: Yasmin factored 28x228x^{2} as (7x)(4x)(7x)(4x). Let's check if this is correct by multiplying the factors together. (7x)×(4x)=28x2(7x) \times (4x) = 28x^{2}. This is the correct factoring of 28x228x^{2} because the result is indeed 28x228x^{2}.
