Omar grouped the terms and factored the gcf out of the groups of the polynomial 3x3 – 15x2 – 4x 20. his work is shown. step 1: (3x3 – 15x2) (–4x 20) step 2: 3x2(x – 5) 4(–x 5) omar noticed that he does not have a common factor. which accurately describes what omar should do next? omar should realize that his work shows that the polynomial is prime. omar should go back and regroup the terms in step 1 as (3x3 – 15x2) – (4x 20). in step 2, omar should factor only out of the first expression. omar should factor out a negative from one of the groups so the binomials will be the same.

Respuesta :

The step that Omar should proceed with is given by: Option D: Omar should factor out a negative from one of the groups so the binomials will be the same.

What are prime polynomials?

Those polynomials with integer coefficients that cannot be factored further, with factors of lower degree and integer coefficients are called prime polynomials.

(it is necessary that no factors exists having their coefficients are still integers and they're of lower degree)

The polynomial that Omar is dealing with is:

[tex]3x^3 - 15x^2 -4x + 20[/tex]

We see that 3 times 5 = 15 and 4 times 5 = 20, so trying in that way:

[tex]3x^3 - 15x^2 -4x + 20 = 3x^2(x-5) + 4(-x + 5)[/tex]

Taking out a negative factor from second term would make the binomials same, after which we can take that common out, as shown below:

[tex]3x^3 - 15x^2 -4x + 20 = 3x^2(x-5) + 4(-x + 5) \\3x^3 - 15x^2 -4x + 20 = 3x^2(x-5) -4(x-5) \\3x^3 - 15x^2 -4x + 20 = (x-5)(3x^2-4)[/tex]

It successfully got factored, thus not a polynomial.

Thus,the step that Omar should proceed with is given by: Option D: Omar should factor out a negative from one of the groups so the binomials will be the same.
