Question

Factor the GCF:

-4y^2 + 12y - 16
A.) -1(4y^2-12y+16)
B.) -4y(y^2-3y+4)
C.) -(y^2-3y+4)
D.) -4(y^2+3y-4)

Answer 1

i think A is the answer

Answer 2

The expression for when the GCF is factored is -4(y² - 3y + 4). Option D

To factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) from the expression
`-4y^2 + 12y - 16` first, find the GCF of the terms.

The GCF of the coefficients 4, 12, and 16 is 4.

Additionally, there is a common factor of y² in all terms.

Now, we have to actor out the GCF, which is -4, we get;

-4(y² - 3y + 4)

Therefore, the expression -4(y² - 3y + 4) represents the factor GCF from the original expression
