Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are given four expressions to factor completely.
. The expressions are -
-
-
-
3. We need to find two numbers that multiply to the constant term and add to the coefficient of the middle term.
STEP 2
Start with the first expression . We need to find two numbers that multiply to12 and add to8.
STEP 3
The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are2 and6. Therefore, we can write the expression as
STEP 4
Next, consider the second expression . We need to find two numbers that multiply to -90 and add to -1.
STEP 5
The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are -10 and9. Therefore, we can write the expression as
STEP 6
Now, consider the third expression . We need to find two numbers that multiply to20 and add to -9.
STEP 7
The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are -4 and -5. Therefore, we can write the expression as
STEP 8
Finally, consider the fourth expression . This is a bit more complex because it involves three terms. First, factor out the common factor of4
STEP 9
Now, we need to factor the expression inside the parentheses. This is a cubic expression, and factoring it might be complex. It seems like there might be a mistake in the problem, as is not easily factorable. Let's assume it's a typo and the correct expression is .
STEP 10
Now, we need to find two numbers that multiply to -90 and add to. The two numbers that satisfy these conditions are -9 and10. Therefore, we can write the expression asSo, the factored forms of the given expressions are. 2. 3. 4. (assuming a typo in the original problem)
