Factor the polynomial completely. If the polynomial cannot be factored, write "prime."
-$2 x ^ { 2 } - 19 x + 45$
A) $( 2 x - 9 ) ( x - 5 )$
B) $( 2 x - 9 ) ( 2 x + 5 )$
C) $2 ( x - 9 ) ( x - 5 )$
D) $( 2 x + 5 ) ( x - 9 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct factorization of $2x^2 - 19x + 45$ is $(2x - 9)(x - 5)$, which multiplies out to the original polynomial.
