Answer 2

again easy one is to sue headphone method
find two number if you multiply them you should get -16
and if you add or subtract them you should get -6

Answer 3

8 & 2

Answer 4

yes but one of them should be negative so which one
remember you need "negative" 6
if you add or subtract 8 and 2

Answer 5

-8

Answer 6

yes right

Answer 7

so your leading coefficient is one
so you can just write it
as (x -8) and (x+2)
you can only do this if your leading coefficient is one

Answer 8

D ?

Answer 9

yes
