Factor the trinomial, if possible.
-$$x ^ { 2 } + 6 x y - 160 y ^ { 2 }$$
A) $( x - 16 y ) ( x + y )$
B) $( x - 16 y ) ( x + 10 y )$
C) prime
D) $( x + 16 y ) ( x - 10 y )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The trinomial can be factored by finding two numbers that multiply to $-160y^2$ and add to $6y$. These numbers are $16y$ and $-10y$, so the factorization is $(x + 16y)(x - 10y)$.
