I NEED HELP

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

First identify factors that occur in all 3 terms

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

like x and 4

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Then factor them out, \[4x(x^{2}+2x+24)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its b or the second one

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

So then to factor the trinomial, you need to find two numbers that multiply to -24 (that equation should be x^2 +2x -24 sorry) and add to 2

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

Like 6 and -4

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

So your two binomials are (x+6)(x-4)

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

But you're also multiplying the expression by four, to get 4(x+6)(x-4)

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

*Multiplying by 4x sorry

OpenStudy (homeworksucks):

To get 4x(x+6)(x-4)
