Question

How to factor g2 − 32g + 256

Answer 1

Answer:

Using the snowflake method, you have to find the factors of 256 that add up to get 32.

The result will look like this:

(g-16)(g-16)

Answer 2

Answer:

$(g-16)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$g^2-32g + 256$

To factor it you should remember that

$(a-b)^2 = a^2 -2ab+b^2$

It is easy to seee that

$32 = 2 \cdot 16$

and

$256 = 16^2$

Therefore

$g^2-32g + 256 = g^2 - (2\cdot 16)g+ 16^2 = (g-16)^2$
