Factor completely: 2x^3 – 32x
a. 2(x + 4)(x – 4)
b. 2x(x + 4)(x – 4)
c. x(x – 4)(x – 4)
d. 2x(x – 16)
my progress so far:
2x^3 – 32x
x^3 - 16

i think it's either c or d

step-by-step explanation: the entire question is extremely odd. 04 obviously refers to the interest rate. honestly i will say the answer is c. because the (2 x 12) part would mean it's compounded semiannually. i'll say choose c.

step-by-step explanation:

what grade level is this? need to know so i can look in my old textbooks!

i would you but i don't under stand the qustion

step-by-step explanation:

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
