We would first determine how to solve this, and then from there, we would then see whether the following answer would be the correct answers.
[tex] 2x^2 - 50 \\ \\ Pull \ out \ like \ factors : \\
2x^2 - 50 = 2 * (x^2 - 25) \\ \\ Factoring: \\ x^2 - 25 \\ \\ (your \ answer)...\\ \\ 2 * (x + 5) * (x - 5)[/tex]
Now, we can determine whether the say "yes" or "no" to the following answers.
a 2(x-5)(x+5) = YES
b -2(x+5)(x+5) = NO
c -2(5-x)(x+5) = NO
