Answer:

Doesn't factor

Explanation:


m^2+4m-2

Factor

___________

Assuming you want m factored, you can follow a rule I use. Find two numbers that multiply to c (in this case -2), and use the same two numbers to add them to equal b (in this case 4).

m^2 + 4m - 2

There are no numbers that can do this, therefore this is unfactorable.
