Question:
In Example 2, set the given expression equal to B and then solve for a.
Data from Example 2
Factor: 4ax2 + 2ax.
The numerical factor 2 and the literal factors a and x are common to each term. Therefore, the greatest common factor of 4ax2 + 2ax is 2ax. This means that 4ax2 + 2ax = 2ax(2x) + 2ax(1) = 2ax(2x + 1)
Note the presence of the 1 in the factored form. When we divide 4ax2 + 2ax by 2ax, we get
