Which statement about -2h² - 15h - 7 is true?
One of the factors is (h + 2).
One of the factors is (3h - 2).
One of the factors is (2h + 1).
One of the factors is (h - 7).

Solution:

-2h² - 15h - 7 can be written as

-(2h² + 15h + 7)

Factoring the above equation we choose the factors 14 and 1

-(2h² + 14h + h + 7)

-(2h(h + 7) + 1.(h + 7))

-((2h + 1)(h + 7))

The two factors are (2h + 1) and (h + 7)

Which statement about -2h² - 15h - 7 is true?

Summary:

The statement about -2h² - 15h - 7 which is true is one of the factors is (2h + 1).
