Question

What is the completely factored form of the expression 16X2 +18X+32

Answer 1

2(8 {x}^{2} + 9x + 16)

Explanation:

1. 2 is the gcf so you factor it out
2. now it is unfactorable

Answer 2

`2(8 {x}^(2) + 9x + 16)`

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

`16 {x}^(2) + 18x + 32`

The greatest common factor is 2.

We factor 2 to obtain:

`2(8 {x}^(2) + 9x + 16)`

The expression in the parenthesis is prime.

This means that the quadratic expression in the parenthesis cannot be factored.

Hence the completely factored form is:

`2(8 {x}^(2) + 9x + 16)`
