Correct answer is A.

$(2x + 1)(2x - 5)
\\2x(2x-5)+1(2x-5)
\\4x^2-10x+2x-5
\\4x^2-x-5$

you can always check by expanding the answers to see what matches

well, you can verify yourself by expanding the answer to check what matches

4x2 - 8x - 5 = 4x2 + 2x -10x -5
= 2x(2x+1) - 5(2x+1)
= (2x+1)(2x-5)

Answer:

3. C

4. D

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2+25=0\\x^2=-25\\x=\pm\sqrt{-25}$

Once $\sqrt{-1}=i$

$x=\pm5i$

A quadratic equation has no real roots when the discriminant ( $\Delta$ ) is negative. $\Delta$ .

Let's try all the equations:

(A)

$2x^2-7x-9=0\\\\\Delta=\sqrt{\left(-7\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-9\right)}\\\Delta=\sqrt{\left(-7\right)^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:9}\\\Delta=\sqrt{121} \\\Delta=11$

(B)

$2x^2=7x\\2x^2-7x=0\\x(2x-7)=0\\x=0\\\text{or}\\2x-7=0\\2x=7\\\\$

$x=\frac{7}{2}$

(C)

$2x^2+7x-9=0\\\Delta = \sqrt{7^2-4\cdot \:2\left(-9\right)}\\\Delta = \sqrt{7^2+4\cdot \:2\cdot \:9}\\\Delta = \sqrt{121} \\\Delta= 11$

(D)

$2x^2-7x+9=0\\\Delta = \sqrt{\left(-7\right)^2-4\cdot \:2\cdot \:9}\\\\\Delta=\sqrt{-23} \\\Delta=\sqrt{23i}$
