Answer

$2(t+3)(4t-5)$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} 8 t^2+14 t-30. \end{equation} Factor the quadratic as shown below. \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} 8 t^2+14 t-30&= 2\left(4 t^2+7 t-15\right)\\ & =2\left(4 t^2+12 t-5t-15\right)\\ & =2\left[4t (t+3)-5(t+3)\right]\\ & = 2(t+3)(4t-5). \end{aligned} \end{equation} The factored form of the quadratic is: \begin{equation} 8 t^2+14 t-30=2(t+3)(4t-5). \end{equation}
