SOLUTION: Factor the following:
r(s) = 2s^2 + st - 2s -t
a. r(s) = 2(s+1)(s-1)
b. r(s) = (2s-t)(s-1)
c. r(s) = (2s+1)(s-1)
d. This cannot be factored; it's prime

You can put this solution on YOUR website! r(s) = 2s^2 + st - 2s -t
r(s) = s(2s + t) - 1 (2s + t) (Factoring and grouping)
r(s) = (s - 1)(2s + t) (Factor out (2s+t leaving the answer)
Your answer is c.
