Answer 2

Yesh.

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

is this multiple choice?

Answer 5

okay then what? lol i thought I needed the first step but Idk what to do fter that

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

When you divided it by two, you should have gtten 2(x^2+8x+12). YOu just factor that. What two factors of 12 will add up to 8? 3 and for? 12 and 1? Or 6, and 2?

Answer 8

k, well you have to factor
2x^2+16x+24 2 is the only number here that can be factored. so
2(find what multiplied by 2 gives your original numbers)
2(x^2+8x+12)

Answer 15

Hang on, I'm trying.

@whiterabbit ??

Answer 17

I think you might have to do the opposite of b thing on this one.

Answer 18

use the quadratic equation (or complete the square) since this polynomial can not be factored with real numbers

Answer 19

That's what I thought. That's: \[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{ 2a }\] Right?

Answer 20

ok

Answer 21

For your problem a would be 1/2, b would be 2, and c=3. Just plug in and solve. :)
