Jaime and Sam both factored the polynomial 2x2 + 10xy + 8y. Which student is
correct? Explain.
Jaime
2x+ + 10xy + 8y
2(x² + 5xy + 4y?)
2(x + y)(x + 4y)
Sam
2x + 10xy + 8y?
(2x + 2y)(x + 4y)

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
