Question

Use the GCF of the terms to write the expression as the product of two factors with integer coefficients.

-2x3 - 4x2 + 4x

Answer 1

Do you mean -2x^3 - 4x^2 + 4x ?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

A. x(-2x2 - 4x + 4)

B. -2x(x2 + 2x - 2)

C. x(-2x2 + 2x - 2)

D. -2x(-2x2 + 2x - 2)

i believe the answer is D. but im not possitive

Answer 4

How did you come up with D?

Answer 5

-2x(-2x^2-2x-2)
=-2x^3-4x^2+4x

honestly not sure if I did it correctly

Answer 6

Find the GCF,
The GCF=-2x
Just Factor out -2x to get
-2x(x^2+2x-2)

Answer 7

So it would be B. B. -2x(x2 + 2x - 2)
It would be good if you put ^ to represent to the power in the future.

Answer 8

Thank you!
