Question

which expression has the factor (h + 2)?
a. 2h² + h
b. 2h² - 4h
c. h² + h - 2
d. h² + 6h + 5

Explanation:

Step1: Factor Option A

$2h^2 + h = h(2h + 1)$

Step2: Factor Option B

$2h^2 - 4h = 2h(h - 2)$

Step3: Factor Option C

$h^2 + h - 2 = (h + 2)(h - 1)$

Step4: Factor Option D

$h^2 + 6h + 5 = (h + 1)(h + 5)$

Answer:

C. $h^2 + h - 2$
