Question

Rewrite the expression by factoring out (u-8).3u^2(u-8)-2(u-8)

Answer 1

The rewritten expression is
`(u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)`

Explanation:

We are given the following expression:

`3u^2(u - 8) - 2(u - 8)`

Factoring out (u-8)

Place (u-8) to the front, and then divide each term by (u-8). So

`3u^2(u - 8) - 2(u - 8) = (u - 8)\left[(3u^2(u - 8))/(u - 8) - (2(u-8))/(u - 8)\right] = (u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)`

The rewritten expression is
`(u - 8)(3u^2 - 2)`
