Question: Why is 8x 2 + 16x = 4x (2x + 4) true yet not factored correctly? 2. The lead term of a polynomial is -2x

  1. Why is 8x2 + 16x = 4x (2x + 4) true yet not factored correctly?

2. The lead term of a polynomial is -2x3 and you are told to GCF factor. Without knowing the rest of the polynomial what can be factored out?

3. Factor 2x3 + 14x2+ 24x completely.

4. You are told to factor x2 + ax + b. If a is negative and b positive which of the following forms would the factorization have to have? Why?

(x - )( x - ) (x + )(x + ) ( x + )(x - )
