Question

Factorise completely 3m^2-48​

Answer 1

Answer:

3 (m^2 - 16)

Step-by-step explanation:

factoring means taking out a common multiple of all the terms in the expression

in this case, if you multiply 3 and m^2, 3 and -16, you would get 3m^2-48​

so you take the three and put it outside of the parenthesis that contains the factored terms

this leaves you with 3 (m^2 - 16)
