Question

Factor the quadratic equation of y= 4x^2 + 16x -48

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 4(x+6)(x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x² + 16x - 48, factor out the 4

y = 4(x² + 4x - 12), find factors of 12

Factors of 12:

1*12, 2*6, 3*4; find a pair that sums to 4x or 4

6-2 = 4, since 12 is a negative number, a number in the factor must be negative, in this case, making 2 negative, would make 6-2 = 4

y = 4(x+6)(x-2)
