Factor by grouping. Group up the terms into pairs, factor each pair, then factor out the overall GCF.
x^3 + 2x^2 - 16x - 32
(x^3 + 2x^2) + (-16x-32) ... pair up terms
x^2(x + 2) + (-16x - 32) ... factor x^2 from the first group
x^2(x + 2) - 16(x + 2) ... factor -16 from the second group
(x^2 - 16)(x + 2) .... factor out (x+2)
(x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2) .... Use the difference of squares to factor x^2-16
---------------------------
The original expression completely factors to (x - 4)(x + 4)(x + 2)
The three factors are x - 4 and x + 4 and x + 2

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the transformation ...
(x,y) ⇒ (y, -x) . . . . . . rotation 90° CW
we have ...
A(-4, 4) ⇒ A'(4, 4)
B(-2, 4) ⇒ B'(4, 2)
C( -2, 1) ⇒ C'(1, 2)
ANSWER
The volume of the mailing tube is 678.6 square inches to the nearest tenth.
EXPLANATION
The volume of a cylinder is calculated using the formula;
Since the mailing tube is in the form of a cylinder, we use this formula to find its volume.
We substitute h=24 and r=3 to obtain,
