If a rectangular poster has an area of

(2x 2 − 9x + 10) square units, which of the

following could describe the dimensions of the

poster?

A (2x − 2) units by (x − 5) units

B (2x − 10) units by (x + 1) units

C (2x − 5) units by (x − 2) units

D (2x − 1) units by (x − 10) units

Verified Answer :

\(2x ^2 - 9x + 10=\\ 2x^2-4x-5x+10=\\ 2x(x-2)-5(x-2)=\\ (2x-5)(x-2) \Rightarrow C\)
