GIVING BRAINIEST IF CORRECT!!!!

Kelsey and Jeffrey were deciding how best to factor the expression 4x^2 - 100. Kelsey said this is a GCF question, but Jeffrey said it is a DOTS question. Who is correct and why?

They are both correct because you should use both to solve the question. To solve it you will have to find the GCF first and then you find the difference of two squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

4x^2 -100

[tex]4(x ^{2} - 25)[/tex]

This would be finding the Greatest common factor

[tex]4(x - 5)(x + 5)[/tex]

This would be finding the difference of two squares

hopefully this is a good enough explanation
