1 answer

To find the quotient of \( 64x^2 - 488 \), we can factor the expression.

First, let's factor out the greatest common factor (GCF):

  1. The GCF of \( 64 \) and \( 488 \) is \( 8 \).
  2. Factoring \( 8 \) out of the expression gives us:

\[ 64x^2 - 488 = 8(8x^2 - 61) \]

Now, the expression is \( 8(8x^2 - 61) \). If we are finding the quotient while ignoring the factor of \( 8 \), we can focus on \( 8x^2 - 61\) as the polynomial.

However, among the provided responses, let's see which one matches our expression:

  • \( 8x^2 - 6 \)
  • \( 2x^2 \)
  • \( 8x - 16 \)
  • \( 8x - \frac{1}{6} \)
  • \( 8x - 6 \)

None of these options directly correspond to \( 8(8x^2 - 61) \) being provided as \( 8x^2 - 61 \).

If we were simply focusing on the coefficients, then the expression \( 8x^2 - 6 \) could relate if modified. However, it doesn't seem directly linked to \( 64x^2 - 488 \).

The closest derived quotient based on our factoring approach would be \( 8x^2 - 61\) not neatly fitting the options given. If we were to simply find a general answer or reduce without factoring out, it would still lack clarity.

To proceed accurately, please clarify if you needed something beyond factoring or confirming the requirements stated!
