Question

What is the factored form of the equation f(x)=4x^2-4x-8

Answer 1

Answer:

4(x² - x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The highest common factor is 4 so factor it out.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:4x2−4x−84x2-4x-8Factor 44 out of 4x2−4x−84x2-4x-8.

Factor 44 out of 4x24x2.4(x2)−4x−84(x2)-4x-8Factor 44 out of −4x-4x.4(x2)+4(−x)−84(x2)+4(-x)-8Factor 44 out of −8-8.4(x2)+4(−x)+4(−2)4(x2)+4(-x)+4(-2)Factor 44 out of 4(x2)+4(−x)4(x2)+4(-x).4(x2−x)+4(−2)4(x2-x)+4(-2)Factor 44 out of 4(x2−x)+4(−2)4(x2-x)+4(-2).4(x2−x−2)

Factor x2−x−2x2-x-2 using the AC method

Consider the form x2+bx+cx2+bx+c. Find a pair of integers whose product is cc and whose sum is bb. In this case, whose product is −2-2and whose sum is −1-1.−2,1

Write the factored form using these integers.4((x−2)(x+1))4((x-2)(x+1))Remove unnecessary parentheses.4(x−2)(x+1)
