During a football play, Jordy Nelson runs a straight route 40 yards up the sideline before turning around and catching a pass thrown by Aaron Rodgers. On the opposing team, a defender who started 20 yards across the field from Jordy saw the play setup and ran a slant towards him. What was the distance the defender had to run to get to the spot where Jordy caught the ball? Round to the nearest whole yard.

Option 1,2 and 5 are true.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The polynomial  

To find : Which statements are true about the polynomial? Check all that apply.

Solution :

First we find the factor of the given polynomial.

Now, We check one by one.      

1) The terms have a common factor.

Yes, it is true they have common factor i.e, 4x.

2) The terms   have a common factor.

Yes, it is true they have common factor i.e, .

3) The polynomial is prime.  

No, It is not prime, and the factored polynomial is 4(2x-3)

4) The factored polynomial is .

No, It is not correct. As factored of polynomial is

5) The polynomial can be grouped in different ways to factor by grouping.  

Yes, it is true.

Therefore, Option 1,2 and 5 are true.
