Devin was explaining his first step in factoring, but made an error in his explanation

Factor: 3p²-1Op+8

Devin said, "I know that a = 3, b = -10, and c = 8. Now, I need to find factors of 24 that add to 10
What was the error in his thought process?

1 answer

The error in Devin's thought process is in identifying the values of a, b, and c. He incorrectly stated that a = 3, b = -10, and c = 8. The correct values of a, b, and c for the given expression 3p²-1Op+8 are a = 3, b = -10, and c = 8 are a = 3, b = -10, and c = 8.
