Practice Question
Which of the following is a factor of u²+uv-2v²?
Answer Choices
- A: (u-v)
- B: (2u-v)
- C: (u-2v)
- D: (u+v)
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Factor u² + uv - 2v². Find factors of -2v² that add to uv: uv - 2v² = (u + 2v)(u - v). Test option C: (u - 2v)(u + v) = u² + uv - 2uv - 2v² = u² - uv - 2v², incorrect. Correct factor is (u - 2v). Thus, the correct answer is (u-2v).
