Question

Write the expression in complete factored form. 2n^2(n-2) - a(n-2)

Answer 1

Answer:

(n-2)(2n² - a)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 2n²(n-2) - a(n-2), to write this expression in a complete factor form, simply follow the instruction;

Let's assume the original expression has been broken down into that form in question, if we look at both terms, we will see that n-2 in parenthesis is common to both terms, we can therefore factor out n-2 from both terms as shown;

=  2n²(n-2) - a(n-2)

= n-2(2n² - a)

Hence the complete factor form of the expression is (n-2)(2n² - a) because the expression cannot be simplified any further.
