Answer 3

can you factor p^2-4p-32 ?

Answer 4

add 4 and 32 together is 36

Answer 5

no...to factor that, you need to find 2 numbers whose product is -32 and sum is -4

Answer 6

so like -4 x 8?

Answer 7

good try !
its -8 and +4

Answer 8

so,
p^2-4p-32
=p^2-8p+4p-32
=p(p-8)+4(p-8)
factor out p-8 from that, what u get ?

Answer 9

p-8;-4?

Answer 10

did you mean (p-8)(p+4)

Answer 11

but all the answer choices have - 4 at the end

Answer 12

yeah, p+4 =0 gives p=-4

Answer 13

would it be B?

Answer 14

yes! good :)

Answer 15

how would I start out number 2?

Answer 16

can you ?

Answer 17

im gonna try

Answer 18

alright i'm confused on how to start it out

Answer 19

hint :
+24 = 8*3, 8+3 =11 for numerator
-24 = -8*3 ,-8+3= -5 for denominator.

Answer 20

now can you factor both ?

Answer 21

which one do i factor?

Answer 22

you need to factor both..

Answer 23

i'll do the denominator, you do numerator, as its simpler.
q^2-5q-24
= q^2 -8q+3q -24
=q(q-8)+3(q-8)
=(q+3)(q-8)
