Question

Factor 6x to the power of 2 + 28x + 16.

Answer 1

The answer is D. 2(3x+2)(x+4)

Explanation:

6x^2 + 28x + 16

First I find the GCF to factor for this, which is 2. Then I use this trial method to solve it.

2(3x^2 + 14x + 8) <---- 3x times 4 is 12x and 2 times x is 2x. 12x + 2x = 14x

3x 2

x 4

= 2(3x + 2)(x + 4)
