12 p 2 + 20 p − 8 (1 point) Responses

Factor Completely. 12p2+20p−8 12 p 2 + 20 p − 8 (1 point)

4(3p+2)(p-1)

is this the answer

Apologies for the confusion in the response. Let's correctly factor the expression:

12p^2 + 20p - 8

First, we look for the greatest common factor of all terms, which in this case is 4:

4(3p^2 + 5p - 2)

Now, we need to factor the quadratic trinomial inside the parentheses:

4(3p^2 + 6p - p - 2)
4(3p(p + 2) - 1(p + 2))
4(3p - 1)(p + 2)

So, the correct factored form of 12p^2 + 20p - 8 is 4(3p - 1)(p + 2).
