anonymous · Answer

^2 means squared

tkhunny · Answer

First, drag out any common factors.

$2x^{2} + 4x + 18 = 2\left(x^{2} + 2x + 9\right)$

Now what?  Is there anything else to do?

anonymous · Answer

no right?

tkhunny · Answer

Factorizations of 9 are what?

1*9 and 3*3

We cannot use that to get a 2 in the middle.  We're done with this one.
