Let m=shaded square and y= clear square
mmmmmyyyyyyy
Answer:
y = 4(x+6)(x-2)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x² + 16x - 48, factor out the 4
y = 4(x² + 4x - 12), find factors of 12
Factors of 12:
1*12, 2*6, 3*4; find a pair that sums to 4x or 4
6-2 = 4, since 12 is a negative number, a number in the factor must be negative, in this case, making 2 negative, would make 6-2 = 4
y = 4(x+6)(x-2)
