write the following equations in factored form. Remember to common factor first
(if possible).
π¦ = 2π₯power2 + 3π₯ β 2
π¦ = (2π₯ β 1)(π₯ + 2)
To factor the equation π¦ = 2π₯^2 + 3π₯ - 2, we need to find the common factors, if possible.
The coefficients of the quadratic terms are 2π₯^2, 3π₯, and the constant term is -2.
Let's check if there are any common factors among the coefficients:
2, 3, and -2 do not have any common factors.
Since there are no common factors among the coefficients, we cannot factor the equation further using common factoring.
Therefore, the equation π¦ = 2π₯^2 + 3π₯ - 2 is already in its factored form and cannot be factored further.
