The polynomial 2x3 - 5x2 + 4x - 10 is split into two groups, 2x3 + 4x and - 5x2 - 10. The GCFs of each group is then factored out.

What is the common binomial factor between the two groups after their GCFs have been factored out?

a) 2x + 5

b) 2x - 5

c) x2 - 2

d) x2 + 2

2x³ - 5x² + 4x - 10

(2x³ + 4x) + (-5x² - 10)

2x (x² + 2) - 5 (x² + 2) = Answer is Choice D. x² + 2
