Question: Part A: Write the expression x2 + 2x - 24 as a product of two linear expressions. Show your work and justify each step. (5 points)

Part B: Rewrite x2 - 8x + 16 as a square of a linear expression. (3 points)

Part C: Do the expressions in parts A and B have a common factor? Justify your answer. (2 points)

My Answer:A) During factoring, we want 2 linear expressions to equal the given quadratic expression. Thus, we find that (x+6)(x-4) would equal x^2+2x-24

B) (x-4)^2

C) They have the common factor of (x-4).
