Question

how do you Factor -4x + 24 - 4x2 completely.

Answer 1

write it in standard form first then take out the GCF of each term. then see if the resulting expession can be further factored.

-4x^2 - 4x + 24
-4 * (x^2 + x - 6)

Answer 2

so would it be



-4(x - 3)(x + 2)

or


-4(x + 3)(x - 2)

Answer 3

correct... it's one of the two.. to see which one, multiply out the binomials in each choice...

Answer 4

i think its the second one
