I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To factor the expression 2x^2 - 50 completely, you can start by recognizing that both terms are divisible by 2.
First, factor out the common factor of 2:
2x^2 - 50 = 2(x^2 - 25)
Now, you have a difference of squares expression, since x^2 - 25 can be rewritten as (x - 5)(x + 5).
So, the factored form of 2x^2 - 50 is:
2(x - 5)(x + 5)
