MCQ
The factorization of $9x^2 - 3x - 20$ is:
  • A
    $(3x - 4) (3x - 5)$
  • $(3x + 4) (3x - 5)$
  • C
    $(3x + 4) (3x + 5)$
  • D
    $(3x - 4) (3x + 5)$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$(3x + 4) (3x - 5)$
$9x^2 - 3x - 20$
$= 9x^2 - 15x + 12x - 20$
$= 3x(3x - 5) + 4(3x - 5)$
$= (3x + 4) (3x - 5)$
