Question

Factor the GCF: −4y^2 + 12y − 16.

Answer choices:
−1(4y^2 − 12y + 16)
−4y(y^2 − 3y + 4)
−4(y^2 − 3y + 4)
−4(y^2 + 3y − 4)


I know it's either C or D because the GCF is -4.

Answer 1

What are you left with once you divide all the numbers by -4?

Answer 2

what about c

Answer 3

\[\huge~\rm~ \frac{ −4y^2 + 12y − 16. }{ -4~~~-4~ -4}\]

Answer 4

You get y^2+3y-4

Answer 5

What do you get if you divide a positive by a negative?

Answer 6

A negative

Answer 7

Ah, the answer is C?

Answer 8

good job
