Which of the following is the correct factorization of the polynomial below?
2p^2 - 11pq + 24q^2
A. (2p-4q)(p-4q)
B. (2p-4q)(p+4q)
C. (2p-4q)(2p^2+2q)
D. The polynomial is irreducible
A. (2p-4q)(p-4q) = 2p^2 -8pq - 4pq + 16q^2 = 2p^2 - 12pq + 16q^2
B. (2p-4q)(p+4q) = 2p^2 + 8pq -4pq - 16p^2 = 2p^2 + 4pq - 16
C. (2p-4q)(2p^2+2q) = 4p^3 +4pq - 4p^2q - 8q^2
