Question

How do i factor 2x^2 - 16x + 32 ?

Answer 1

multiply 2 and 32

find the factors of 64

that when added or subtracted can equal 16

then split 16x into two numbers

then put them in parentheses

then factor each one and then factor the result

Answer 2

32 * 2 = 64 and -8 * -8 = 64, so

2x^2 - 8x - 8x + 32
=> 2x(x - 4) - 8(x - 4)
=> (2x - 8)(x - 4)
=> 2(x - 4)(x - 4)
