Question

Factor the polynomial 10x^2+31x-14 Where B=_______C=_______D=______

Answer 1

Answer:

B = 2, C = 2, and D = 7.

Explanation:

We are asked that if the polynomial can be factored as

$10x^2+31x-14=(5x-B)(Cx+D)$

then we have to find B, C, and D.

The polynomial can be factored as

$10x^2+31x-14=(5x-2)(2x+7)$

Hence, pattern matching gives

B = 2,

C = 2,

D = 7.
