Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To factor the trinomial 4x^2 + 52x + 160, we first need to identify the greatest common factor (GCF) of the coefficients. The GCF of 4, 52, and 160 is 4.

Factor out the GCF of 4:
4(x^2 + 13x + 40)

Now we need to factor the trinomial x^2 + 13x + 40. This can be factored into two binomials:
(x + 8)(x + 5)

Putting it all together, the factored form of 4x^2 + 52x + 160 is:
4(x + 8)(x + 5)
