Answer:

The divisor can be 6 or -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Let the quotient be x.

The number or divisor = x +2

Remainder = 0

Dividend = 24

24=(x+2)\times x+0

x^2+2x-24=0

Using middle term splitting :

x^2+6x-4x-24=0

x(x+6)-4(x+6)=0

(x-4)(x+6)= 0

if x = 4

Then ,Divisor = 4 + 2 = 6

if x = -6

Then ,Divisor = -6 + 2 = -4

The divisor can be 6 or -4.

Divident =divisor × quotient + remainder
24= divisor ×(divisor-2)+0
d^2-2d-24=0
d=6 or -4
quotient is 4 of -6
so there are two possibilities, 6 or -4

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

(2x - 1)(2x + 1)(x - 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use grouping to factor.

Step 1: Group 1st 2 terms together and factor

4x³ - 28x²

4x²(x - 7)

Step 2: Group last 2 terms together and factor

-x + 7

-1(x - 7)

Step 3: Combine

(4x² - 1)(x - 7)

Step 4: Factor out quadratic

(2x - 1)(2x + 1)(x - 7)
