Question

Rewrite the expression by factoring out (u-8).3u^2(u-8)-2(u-8)

Answer 1

Answer:

The rewritten expression is $(u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following expression:

$3u^2(u - 8) - 2(u - 8)$

Factoring out (u-8)

Place (u-8) to the front, and then divide each term by (u-8). So

$3u^2(u - 8) - 2(u - 8) = (u - 8)\left[\frac{3u^2(u - 8)}{u - 8} - \frac{2(u-8)}{u - 8}\right] = (u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)$

The rewritten expression is $(u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)$
