Answer 3

2x^2 factors as 2x and x
(2x )(x )

Answer 4

-36 factors as
-36, 1 and -1, 36
-18, 2 and -2, 18
-12, 3 and 12, -3
-9, 4 and 4, -9
-6, 6
You need to figure wout which two factors to place in the parentheses, so that the middle term will come out as -x after using FOIL.

I'm going to guess -9, and 4
(2x - 9)(x + 4)
Using FOIL: 2x^2 + 8x - 9x - 36 = 2x^2 - x - 36
That means (2x - 9(x + 4) is correct
