Question

Factor completely 14bx2 − 7x3 − 4b + 2x.

Answer 1

Hello,

14bx²-7x^3-4b+2x= -7x^3+14bx²+2x-4b
=-7x²(x-2)+2(x-2b)
=(x-2b)(-7x²+2)
=(2b-x)(7x²-2)

answer 2

Answer 2

Answer:

$(2b-x)(7x^2-2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to factor the expression $14bx^2-7x^3-4b+2x$

We apply the method of grouping to factor it.

Make groups

$(14bx^2-7x^3)+(-4b+2x)$

Take GCF

$7x^2(2b-x)-2(2b+x)$

Finally, factored out the common factor

$(2b-x)(7x^2-2)$

The factored form of the given expression is

$(2b-x)(7x^2-2)$
