Question

Factor this trinomial completely.

Answer 1

Answer:

${ \tt{2 {x}^{2} + 10x + 8 }} \\ { \tt{ = (x + 1)(x + 4)}}$

Answer 2

Answer:

A. 2 ( x + 4 )( x + 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² + 10x + 8

factor out 2 from the equation

2 ( x² + 5 x + 4 )

write 5x as a sum and rewrite the expression

2 ( x² + 4x + x + 4 )

factor out x from the equation

2 ( x ( x + 4 ) + x + 4 )

factor out x + 4 from the equation

2 ( x + 4 ) ( x + 1 )
