Question 732628: Completely factor this polynomial:
----------------
2x² - 14x + 24
------------------------ need to know the steps on how to
Rough work :
24*2x^2 (Mulitiplying 1st term with last term)
48 x^2 (finding no.s that multiply to give 48x^2 and add/subtract to give -14x)
2* 24
3*16
4*12
6*8
Solution:
2x^2-14x+24
2x^2-6x-8x+24
2x(x-3)-8(x-3)
(x-3)(2x-8) Answer!
