Question

What is the factored form of 2x^3 + 4x^2 - 4

Answer 1

Answer:

2 ( x ^3 + 2 x^ 2 − 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor  2  out of  

2 x^ 3 + 4 x^ 2 − 4 .

Answer 2

For this case we must factor the following expression:

$2x ^ 3 + 4x ^ 2-4$

It is observed that each of the three terms has a common factor of "2":

$2 (x ^ 3 + 2x ^ 2-2)$

The expression within parentheses can not be factored with rational numbers.

Finally the result is:

$2 (x ^ 3 + 2x ^ 2-2)$

ANswer:

$2 (x ^ 3 + 2x ^ 2-2)$
