Factor completely: 14bx2 − 7x3 − 4b + 2x (2b + x)(7x2 + 2) (2b − x)(7x2 − 2) (2b + x)(7x2 − 2) prime

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

First make the system serial-wise. (14bx^2-4b)-(7x^3+2x)

OpenStudy (zehanz):

First, split up in two parts: 14bx2 − 7x3 − 4b + 2x =(14bx²-7x³) - (4b - 2x) Now factor both parts indepentdently, taking out the common factors: 7x²(2b-x) - 2(2b - x) Now, the last step: 2b-x is a common factor, so factor it out...

OpenStudy (zehanz):

@jiteshmeghwal9: I think you missed a - in the right part.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2b + x)(7x2 − 2) is that it ?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Yes! You got it.

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Oh, no: you also missed a - sign, it is (2b - x)(7x2 − 2)

OpenStudy (zehanz):

Because 2b-x was the common factor!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh so its teh second choice ?

OpenStudy (zehanz):

It is!
