Question

What is the factorization of the polynomial below?

- x2 - 15x - 56

A. (X + 8)(x + 7)
B. (x+3)(x - 7)
C. -1(x+8)(x + 7)
D. (-x+3)(x-7)

Answer 1

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply -1(x+8)(x+7)

                                 (-x-8)(x+7)

                                  -x(x+7)-8(x+7)

                                   $-x^{2}-15x-56$
