Factoring Polynomials Completely

Question 7 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

What is the completely factored form of 2x2 – 32?

Answer
A
(2x2 + 16)(x – 16)
B
2(x + 4)(x – 4)
C
2(x + 8)(x – 4)
D
2(x – 8)(x – 4)

Explanation

Factor out the common factor 2: 2x² − 32 = 2(x² − 16). Since x² − 16 is a difference of squares, it factors as (x + 4)(x − 4), giving 2(x + 4)(x − 4), choice B.
