Answer:
2(x + 9)(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
- First, take out a GCF if possible. Each coefficient is dividable by 2, so 2 is the GCF.
-2(x^2 + 10x + 9)
→ The main quadratic equation is equal to ax^2 + bx + c.
- Then, use a factoring pattern to factor the expression in parentheses. The factors of C that add up to equal B are the two factors.
2(x + 9)(x + 1)
The expression cannot be factored any further.
