Factor 2x2 − 10x − 48 completely. a 2(x − 3)(x + 8) b (2x + 3)(x − 8) c (2x − 3)(x + 8) d 2(x + 3)(x − 8)

Alright, lets get started.

The given expression is :

Firstly, we could take 2 as common factor out

-5x could be written as -8x + 3x

Now, taking x common factor out in first two terms and 3 common factor in last two terms

or

Answer is option d.

Hope it will help :)

(C) 0.3 %

Step-by-step explanation:

APR (Annual percentage rate) for first 3 months = 3.6%

APR for remaining 9 months = 14.4%

Formula for periodic interest rate = APR/n

where APR is the annual percentage rate and

n = no. of times the payment is to be made in a year

For calculating periodic interest rate for first 3 months, APR = 3.6%

n = 12 ( Since the interest is compounded monthly)

Periodic interest rate = 3.6/12

                                   = 0.3%

Hence (C) is the correct answer.
