Question: Factor the trinomial.
5x2 - 32xy - 64y2


A ) (x - 8y)(x - 8y)
B ) (5x + 8y)(x - 8y)
C ) (x + y)(5x + 64y)
D ) (x + 8y)(5x - 8y)

Steps to derive

1 5x2 - 32xy - 64y2
 [Given trinomial.]

2 a = 5, b = - 32, c = - 64

3 Find two numbers whose product is 5 and another two numbers whose product is - 64.
    Factors of 5        Factors of - 64
         1, 5            1, - 64 and 8, - 8

4 Use FOIL method to check the middle term in the trial factors.
    Trial factors           Middle term
    (x + y)(5x - 64y)      - 64xy + 5xy = - 59xy
    (x + 8y)(5x - 8y)      - 8xy + 40xy = 32xy
    (5x + 8y)(x - 8y)     - 40xy + 8xy = - 32xy

5 So, 5x2 - 32xy - 64y2 = (5x + 8y)(x - 8y).



Hence the right answer is Option B
