vlada-n [284]

Answer:

-2x²(x + 1)(x - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Factor:

$-2x^4 + 6x^3 + 8x^2$
$-2x^2(x^2 - 3x - 4)$ Take out GCF

Think: What numbers add up to -3 and multiply to -4?

Answer: -4 and 1

Continue:

$-2x^2(x^2 - 3x - 4)$
$-2x^2(x^2 - 4x + x - 4)$
$-2x^2(x(x - 4) + 1(x - 4))$ Factor by Grouping
$-2x^2(x + 1)(x - 4)$

The complete factored form is -2x²(x + 1)(x - 4)
