Solution

The expression you provided seems to be a bit unclear, but if you're asking to factor the quadratic equation -10h^2 + 82h - 16, here are the steps:

  1. First, we can factor out a common factor of -2 from all terms to simplify the equation:

    -2(5h^2 - 41h + 8)

  2. Now, we need to factor the quadratic 5h^2 - 41h + 8. We're looking for two numbers that multiply to (5*8 = 40) and add up to -41. Those numbers are -5 and -8.

  3. We rewrite -41h as -5h - 36h and factor by grouping:

    -2[(5h^2 - 5h) - (36h - 8)]

  4. Factor out common factors from each group:

    -2[h(5h - 1) - 8(5h - 1)]

  5. Now you can see that (5h - 1) is a common factor:

    -2(5h - 1)(h - 8)

So, the factored form of -10h^2 + 82h - 16 is -2(5h - 1)(h - 8).
