Carlos and Sophie, factored the trinomial - 4x2 - 10x + 6. Sophie factored it as - 2 (2x - 1) (x + 3) and Carlos factored it as (x + 3) (-4x + 2). Indicate which student factored the trinomial completely and which student did not, and explain why.

    Sophie factored it completely while Carlos did not.

    Complete factoring is achieved when all factors other than monomial factors are prime factors. Carlos' (4x + 2) can still be factored into 2 (x+1).
