What is the expression in factored form? 2x^2 + 16x + 24

OpenStudy (dupob):

(x+2)(x+6)

OpenStudy (dupob):

times 2

OpenStudy (rowanwhitethorn):

So it's 2(x+6)(x+2)

OpenStudy (dupob):

yes, that's what times 2 means

OpenStudy (dupob):

so x = -2 or x =-6 at the roots

OpenStudy (dupob):

2(x+6)(x+2) is factored form... finding the roots means finding where this equation is equal to zero. it is equal to 0 when (x+2) and/or (x+6) equals 0... replace x with -2 or -6 and you end up with 0
