Answer 1

Answer:

1) (2x + 2)(x + 2)

2)  2(x + 1)(x - 1)

3) (x^2 + 3)(x^2 - 3)

4) 2x(x + 5)(x - 2)

5) (5x + 2y)(5x - 2y)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

2x^2 + 6x + 4

= 2x^2 + 4x + 2x + 4

= 2x(x + 2) + 2(x + 2)

= (2x + 2)(x + 2)

2)

2x^2 - 2

= 2(x^ 2 - 1) (The difference of two squares)

= 2(x + 1)(x - 1)

3)

x^4 - 9 (The difference of two squares)

=(x^2 + 3)(x^2 - 3)

4)

2x^3 + 6x^2 - 20x

= 2x(x^2 + 3x - 10)

= 2x(x + 5)(x - 2)

5)

25x^2 - 4y^2         (The difference of two squares)

= (5x + 2y)(5x - 2y)
