Question

Part A: Write the expression x^2 + 2x - 24 as a product of two linear expressions. Show your work and justify each step. (5 points). . Part B: Rewrite x^2 - 8x + 16 as a square of a linear expression. (3 points). . Part C: Do the expressions in parts A and B have a common factor? Justify your answer. (2 points)

Answer 1

A. The expression x^2+2x-24 in simplifying as product of two linear expression the result is (x+6)(x-4)

B.The square of a linear expression of an expression x^2-8x+16 is (x-4)^2

C. Yes the are, they have both a similar factor which is (x-4)
