Question

Factor completely 2x2 + 4x − 2.

Answer 1

ok this should be easy

Answer 2

brb

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

Raise x to the 2nd power

Answer 5

then you Simplify 2x2+4x - 2

Answer 6

Pull out like factors :

2x2 + 4x - 2 = 2 • (x2 + 2x - 1)

Answer 7

Factoring x2 + 2x - 1 so then its coefficient is 1 .

Answer 8

then the middle term is, +2x so its coefficient is 2 .

Answer 9

The last term, the constant, is -1

Answer 10

then we multiply

Answer 11

1 • -1 = -1

Answer 12

then we find two factors of -1 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 2 .

Answer 13

-1 + 1 = 0

Answer 14

\[ 2 • (x^2 + 2x - 1)\]

Answer 15

thats the final answer
