Factor the trinomial, if possible. 10y2−29y−7210 y ^ { 2 } - 29 y - 7210y229y72

A) (2y−9) (5y+8) ( 2 y - 9 ) ( 5 y + 8 ) (2y9) (5y+8)
B) (2y+9) (5y+8) ( 2 y + 9 ) ( 5 y + 8 ) (2y+9) (5y+8)
C) (2y−9) (5y−8) ( 2 y - 9 ) ( 5 y - 8 ) (2y9) (5y8)
D) (9y+2) (8y−5) ( 9 y + 2 ) ( 8 y - 5 ) (9y+2) (8y5)
E) The trinomial is prime.

Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
To factor the trinomial 10y2−29y−7210y^2 - 29y - 7210y229y72 , we look for two numbers that multiply to 10×−72=−72010 \times -72 = -72010×72=720 and add to −29-2929 . The numbers -9 and 80 fit these criteria. Rewriting the middle term using these numbers gives us 10y2−9y−80y−7210y^2 - 9y - 80y - 7210y29y80y72 , which can be factored by grouping into (2y−9)(5y+8)(2y - 9)(5y + 8)(2y9)(5y+8) .
