Answer:
Option a - [tex]xy^2+5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : Polynomial [tex]x^3y^2+8xy^2+5x^2+40[/tex]
To find : Select one of the factors of polynomial ?
Solution :
The polynomial [tex]x^3y^2+8xy^2+5x^2+40[/tex]
We factor of above polynomial by taking common terms,
[tex]xy^2(x^2+8)+5(x^2+8)[/tex]
[tex](xy^2+5)(x^2+8)[/tex]
From the given options,
[tex]xy^2+5[/tex] is one of the factors of polynomial.
Therefore, option a is correct.
