Question

Factor completely or state prime. x^2-6xy+8y^2

Answer 1

(x - 2y)(x - 4y)...figure out what times what will equal the 1st term and what times what will equal the last term...the last term must add up to the middle term.

Answer 2

the factors of x^ 2 are (x and x), the factors of 8y^2 are (4y and 2y), i chose these because they add up to 6, factored form (x-2y)(x-4y)

Answer 3

Ok I thought I almost had that one lol I forgot to add the y in the ().
