The factored form of given polynomial is:(r+q)(p-2)
Further explanation:
We can re-arrange the given polynomial to factorize it.
Given polynomial is:
[tex]pq - 2r + pr - 2q[/tex]
Re-arranging the terms
[tex]pr-2r+pq-2q\\(pr-2r)+(pq-2q)\\Taking\ r\ as\ factor\ from\ first\ bracket\\Taking\ q\ as\ factor\ from\ second\ bracket\\=r(p-2)+q(p-2)\\=(r+q)(p-2)[/tex]
The factored form of given polynomial is:(r+q)(p-2)
