QuestionWhich is the correct way to factor $3 x^{2}-5 x-2$ ? $$\begin{array}{l} (3 x-1)(x+2) \\ (3 x+1)(x+2) \\ (3 x-1)(x-2) \\ (3 x+1)(x-2) \end{array}$$

Studdy Solution
Compare the expanded forms to the original polynomial $3x^2 - 5x - 2$.
The correct factorization matches the expanded form of $(3x + 1)(x - 2)$.
Solution: The correct factorization of $3x^2 - 5x - 2$ is $(3x + 1)(x - 2)$.
