Which shows one way to determine the factors of x3 – 9x2 5x – 45 by grouping?
a.x2(x – 9) – 5(x – 9)
b.x2(x 9) – 5(x 9)
c.x(x2 5) – 9(x2 5)
d.x(x2 – 5) – 9(x2 – 5)

Respuesta :

x(x2 5) – 9(x2 5) 
Hope this helps! (:

Answer:

Option (c) is correct

[tex]x(x^2+5)-9(x^2+5)[/tex] is correct way of grouping the terms of given polynomial [tex]x^3-9x^2+5x -45[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial [tex]x^3-9x^2+5x -45[/tex]

We have to write in grouping form and choose the correct from given options.

Grouping of polynomial  is expression a polynomial by making pairs such that we can take out some common factor from the paired terms.

Consider the given polynomial [tex]x^3-9x^2+5x -45[/tex]

rewrite the polynomial as [tex]x^3+5x-9x^2-45[/tex]

taking [tex]x[/tex] common from first two terms and -9 common from last two terms, we have,

[tex]\Rightarrow x^3+5x-9x^2 -45 [/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow x(x^2+5)-9(x^2+5)[/tex]

Thus,   [tex]x(x^2+5)-9(x^2+5)[/tex] is correct way of grouping the terms of given polynomial [tex]x^3-9x^2+5x -45[/tex]

Option (c) is correct.
