Mercedes Reynolds · Answer 1

The greatest common factor of the terms is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms have no variables in common, and the coefficients have no factors in common. The greatest common factor of the terms is 1.

__

The discriminant is negative (40² - 4 (30) (51) = - 4520), so any linear factors will be complex.
