Question

Factor completely 2x2 − 32.

Answer 1

Answer:

2(1x1-16)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the gcf (greatest common factor) which is 2

2. Divide by each of the factors and put it inside of the parentheses

Answer 2

Answer:

2 *(x-4)(x+4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using difference of square:

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

GCF is the largest number that divide the given polynomial or expression.

Given the expression:

2x^2-32

We have to completely factor the expression.

GCF of 2x^2 and 32 is, 2

then;

2 *(x^2-16)

Using difference of square

2 * (x-4)(x+4)

therefore, the completely factor of 2x^2-32 is, 2 * (x-4)(x+4)
