factor completely 2x^2-16+32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Quadratic equations like this one tend to be easier to factor if the x^2 term doesn't have a coefficient (or has coefficient 1, they're the same). So, we can actually factor out a 2 right away, because as you can see, all the terms are even (and thus divisible by 2)

so my answer will be 2(x-4)(x-4)

That looks right to me, good job! You can check your answer by multiplying those factors out and seeing if you get the original.
