Find the error and explain why the polynomial is factored incorrectly. Work the problems yourself, if needed. 10x^2 + 49x - 5 = (5x - 1)(2x + 5)
Added by -Scar B.
Step 1
Step 1: To factor the polynomial 10x^2 + 49x - 5 correctly, we need to find two numbers that multiply to 10*(-5) = -50 and add up to 49. Show more…
