Answer 2

HI!

Answer 3

Answer 4

Hey girl!

Answer 5

Answer 6

want to do \(4y^2 + 8\) first ?

Answer 7

yess

Answer 8

k you see a common factor in \(4y^2\) and \(8\) ? it is just a number common to both

Answer 9

they both dont have a same number? lol sorry im confused

Answer 10

i know they don't' one has a 4 the other has an 8
you know a way to factor 8?

Answer 11

guess not
they have a common factor of 4 since \(8=4\times 2\)so you can "factor it out" and you get
\[4y^2+8=4(y^2+2)\]

Answer 12

im sorry i was on other page of school lol and yes 8 okay cool

Answer 13

That's quite a lot of questions. Lol.

Answer 14

HI @Jhannybean please step in and help

Answer 20

good luck
good night too `

Answer 21

yes

Answer 22

Alright, #2.

Answer 23

is number 2 (x+2 )(y-2)?

Answer 24

\[y^2-4 \implies (y)^2 -(2)^2\]This is a difference of squares that follows the format \(a^2-b^2 = (a-b)(a+b)\)

Answer 25

And youg ot it \(\checkmark\)

Answer 26

#3. \(x^2 - 14x - 15\)

Find two numbers that add to give you -14, and multiply to give you -15.What would those be?

Answer 27

#3 is -12-x2-14x right?

Answer 28

Not quit. Did you find the factors of -14 and -15?

Answer 29

hint: -15 plus what will give you -14?
