Question

Factor 4x^2+20x-24 into bionomials

Answer 1

`4(x-1)(x+6)`

Explanation:

→Take out the GCF (Greatest Common Factor), which is 4:

`4x^2+20x-24`

`4(x^2+5x-6)`

→Split the middle term into two numbers that can be added to get 5 and multiplied to get 6:

`4(x-1)(x+6)`

Answer 2

4( x+6) (x-1)

Explanation:

4x^2+20x-24

Factor out the greatest common factor

4(x^2 +5x-6)

What 2 numbers multiply to -6 and add to 5

6*-1 = -6

6+-1 = 5

4( x+6) (x-1)
