factor: 16c^2 + 32cd + 16d^2

OpenStudy (christos):

your common factor is 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...uhuh... don't like i have to turn it to a binomial or smth ?

OpenStudy (christos):

Why not 16(...+...+...) ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:\ sorry, i'm quite new to algebra, so i'm not sure :[

OpenStudy (christos):

Can you do it with the form I posted above and post your results?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...not really.

OpenStudy (christos):

Let me give you the first part 16(c^2 + ..... + ......) notice that this multiplication On the first part gives you your first term from your original expression

OpenStudy (christos):

That's what factorization is all about

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh so then 16(c^2 + 32cd + d^2) ?

OpenStudy (christos):

Close enough , it's actually 16(c^2 + 2cd + d^2) but you got the point :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh i get you it's not 32 cuz you divide by 16 is 2.

OpenStudy (christos):

yeah
