Question

Show work when factoring completely: 2x3 – 12x2 – 32x

Answer 1

I Wouldn't be of any help but I could suggest google. :)

Answer 2

2x3 – 12x2 – 32x

(2x)(x^2 - 6x - 16) factor out "2x"

(2x)(x - 8)(x + 2) factor the quadratic

Answer 3

All good now, @CSmith17 ?

Answer 4

So (2x)(x - 8)(x + 2) is the problem factored completely?

Answer 5

Yes, that's it! It's because it's a cubic and there are three factors.
