Question

What is the factored form of x2 - 6x - 16?

O(x – 4)(x - 2)
O (x + 4)(x - 2)
O(x - 2)(x + 8)
(x-8)(x + 2)

Answer 1

Answer: He's right its D.) (x-8)(x=2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

( x - 8 ) ( x + 2 )

Explanation:

x² - 6x - 16

= x² + 2x - 8x - 16

= x ( x + 2 ) - 8 ( x + 2 )

= ( x - 8 ) ( x + 2 )
