2x[5x+4(3x-5)]; distribute the 4 inside the brackets
2x[5x+12x-20]; add inside the bracket next
2x[17x-20]; remove brackets and use parenthesis
2x(17x-20); distribute the 2x through
34x^2-40x <------Answer
i'm reli rubbish @ maths yet i think of it is how u initiate it.... you do long branch or d oda factorising way-properly, it tells you dat f(x)=5x(2x-a million)^3 n den it says show dat wen you upload 0.5 to it you may get (40x^3)(x+0.5) so what i did became i bigger f(x) which gave me 40x^4-20x^3+30x-5x then you definately might use (x+0.5) as a piece n attempt n divide it by that....[i think of.....] so: (40x^4-20x^3+30x-5x)/(x+0.5) [soz i'm reli rubish @ long branch, will go incorrect] yet, you need to get (40x^3)(x+0.5) interior the tip =]
