Well, let me factor in some humor for you.

Your answer is almost correct, but it's missing a little something... the signs!

The correct factored form of the expression m^2 - 3mn - 28n^2 is (m - 7n)(m + 4n). So close, yet so far! Keep practicing those sign placements!

To determine if your answer is correct, we can check it by expanding the factored expression.

The given expression is:
m^2 - 3mn - 28n^2

If we factor it as (m+4n)(m-7n), we can expand it using the FOIL method:

First: m * m = m^2
Outer: m * -7n = -7mn
Inner: 4n * m = 4mn
Last: 4n * -7n = -28n^2

Combining these terms: m^2 - 7mn + 4mn - 28n^2

Simplifying: m^2 - 3mn - 28n^2

The expanded expression matches the original expression, which means your answer is correct. Well done!
