can y=-2x^2 + 4x +4 be factored?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Only the 2 can be factored out.\[-2 \left(x^2-2 x-2\right) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and can that be factored more?

Parth (parthkohli):

Unfortunately, it can't because no two numbers that sum up to -2 have their product as -2.

Parth (parthkohli):

Or rather, integers.
