What are the factors of 12x² − 23xy + 10y²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3x − 2y)(4x − 5y)

The correct answer is A: (3x − 2y)(4x − 5y). Multiply the first terms: 3x·4x = 12x², matching the leading term. Multiply the last terms: (−2y)(−5y) = 10y², matching the constant term. Now check the cross-products: 3x(−5y) = −15xy and (−2y)(4x) = −8xy. Their sum is −23xy, exactly the required middle term. Thus the product is 12x² − 23xy + 10y². Option B gives cross-products −6xy and −20xy, whose sum is −26xy. Option C gives a last product of 10y² but its cross-products total −22xy, not −23xy. Option D gives the correct first and last products but the cross-products total −22xy. The safest method is to verify all three resulting terms, especially the middle term where sign errors are common.
