Question
Factorize :
20x² – 26x + 8
✓
Answer
20x² – 26x + 8
= 2(10x² – 13x + 4) 10 × 4 = 40
… [Taking out the common factor 2]
= 2(10x² – 8x – 5x + 4)
= 2[2x(5x – 4) – 1(5x – 4)]
= 2 (5x – 4) (2x – 1)
= 2(10x² – 13x + 4) 10 × 4 = 40
… [Taking out the common factor 2]
= 2(10x² – 8x – 5x + 4)
= 2[2x(5x – 4) – 1(5x – 4)]
= 2 (5x – 4) (2x – 1)
