Question

What is the completely factored form of the expression 16x^2+8x+32

Answer 1

Just like that:

`16x^2+8x+32=8(2x^2+x+4)`

Because 2x² + x + 4 = 0 has no real roots, therefore, it does not factors.

Answer 2

8(2x^2 +x +4)

Explanation:

16x^2+8x+32

We can factor an 8 out of all the terms

8(2x^2 +x +4)

We cannot factor this any further
