Answer:

[tex]\text{The integral factors are }(3x-4)(2x+15)[/tex]      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic polynomial

[tex]6x^2+37x-60[/tex]

we have to find the integral factors of the above polynomial.

[tex]\text{The polynomial is }6x^2+37x-60[/tex]

By splitting middle-term, the polynomial can be written as

[tex]6x^2+37x-60[/tex]

[tex]6x^2-8x+45x-60[/tex]

Taking 2x common from first two terms and 15 from last two terms.

[tex]2x(3x-4)+15(3x-4)[/tex]

Taking (3x-4) common

[tex](3x-4)(2x+15)[/tex]

which are required factors of given polynomial.

Hence, option 1 is correct.
