3/2? I’m not much of a math person so I don’t know for sure !!
Surface Area of a Sphere = 4π(d/2)²
Let the smaller sphere's diameter be just a sample of 4 units in diameter and let the large spheres diameter be 4 times that of the smaller sphere.
Small Sphere: 4π(4/2)² = 16π units²
Large Sphere: 4π(16/2)² = 256π units²
256π / 16π = 16 times
The large sphere has a surface area 16 times that of the smaller one.
To split this trinomial into two binomials, let's try and find two numbers which add to 6 and multiply to 8. To do this, we can list all the factors of 8 and then choose which factors also add to 6.
Factors of 8: (1, 8), (2, 4)
1 + 8 = 9, meaning that 1 and 8 are not the factors we are looking for. However, 2 and 4 do add to 6. By combining these numbers which an x (so that we can produce the
term at the front of the trinomial), we find the binomials:
and 
The answer is x + 2 and x + 4.
