I'd like to see some of your own efforts here. This is the third time you've posted two "factor completelyl" problems, without sharing what you've already done.
<span>3v^2 - 8v - 16 cannot be reduced. Thus, your best choice to find roots is to apply the quadratic formula:
8 plus or minus sqrt( 64-4(3)(-16) ) v = --------------------------------------------------- 2(3) 8 plus or minus sqrt( 64 + 192 ) = --------------------------------------------- 6 8 plus or minus sqrt(256) = ------------------------------------- 6
= 8 + 16, all divided by 6, or 8 - 16, all divided by 6
