rite the following equations in factored form. Remember to common factor first

Question

(if possible).
𝑦 = 2𝑥power2 + 3𝑥 − 2

Answer 1

To factor this quadratic equation, we first look for a common factor of the quadratic and linear terms. The greatest common factor here is 1, so we move on to finding two numbers whose product is -4 and whose sum is 3. These numbers are 4 and -1. We can now rewrite the quadratic in factored form:

𝑦 = (2𝑥 - 1)(𝑥 + 2)
