Question 38278:  factor this polynomial   2z^2-196c^2 
 Answer by fractalier(6550)      (Show Source): 
You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Well, we start by pulling out a 2... 
2z^2 - 196c^2 = 
2(z^2 - 98c^2) 
Now this is the difference of squares, except that 98 is not a perfect square, but we can still use the proper form, like this 
2(z^2 - 98c^2) = 
2(z + 7c*sqrt(2))(x - 7c*sqrt(2))
