Question

`{2n}^(2) + 14 - 16`

Answer 1

Hopefully I am factoring...

1st take the 2 out of the expression

`2(n^2+7n-8)`

Look at the 2nd sign, since it is negative the signs in the factors will be +/-. Now we need the numbers that multilpy to 8 and have a difference of 7, which will be 8 and 1.

`2(n+8)(n-1)` - factored form
