I'm assuming you want to solve the equation
2x2 - 12x - 80 = 0
Divide both sides by 2:
x2 - 6x - 40 =0
What numbers multiply to get -40 and add to give you -6?
Factors of 40:
(2,20)
(4,10)
(5,8)
Thus, the factors of -40 are the same, but with either number in the pair being negative. Which two have a difference of 6? (4,10). Since we want -6, we should choose (4,-10)
Thus we can factor the equation to get:
(x + 4)(x - 10) = 0
The two solutions are then x= -4, x=10

Can 2x2 -12x- 80 be factored?
Yes. You must use the "slip and slide" factoring method because there is a 2 coefficient infront of x2. 2x2-12x-80 = (x-10)(2x+8)
what is the factor the polynomial 2x2-12x-80?
2(x + 4)(x - 10)
2x3 plus 2x2 - 12x?
Do you want its factorisation? 2x3 + 2x2 - 12x = 2x(x2 + x - 6) = 2x(x + 3)(x - 2).
What is the factorization of the polynomial below -2x3-2x2 plus 12x?
(-2x3 - 2x2 + 12x) = -2x (x2 + x - 6) = -2x (x + 3) (x - 2)
Can 2x2-12x-80 be factored?
Yes because dividing all terms by 2 it becomes x2-6x-40 = (x-10)(x+4) when factored
Can 2x2 -12x- 80 be factored?
Yes. You must use the "slip and slide" factoring method because there is a 2 coefficient infront of x2. 2x2-12x-80 = (x-10)(2x+8)
what is the factor the polynomial 2x2-12x-80?
2(x + 4)(x - 10)
2x3 plus 2x2 - 12x?
Do you want its factorisation? 2x3 + 2x2 - 12x = 2x(x2 + x - 6) = 2x(x + 3)(x - 2).
-2x3 plus 2x2 plus 12x?
whats the answer for -2x^3+2^2+12x
What is the factorization of the trinomial -2x3 plus 2x2 plus 12x?
-2x3 + 2x2 + 12x =(-2x) (x2 - x - 6) =(-2x) (x+2) (x-3)
What is the factorization of this trinomial -2x3 - 2x2 12x?
I assume your problem is: -2x3-2x2+12x-2x(x2-x-6)-2x(x-3)(x+2)
What is the factorization of the polynomial below -2x3-2x2 plus 12x?
(-2x3 - 2x2 + 12x) = -2x (x2 + x - 6) = -2x (x + 3) (x - 2)
How would you factor 2x squared - 72?
2x2 - 72 would be factored into (2x - 12)(x + 6) or (2x + 12)(x - 6) To double check, multiply each pair: (2x - 12)(x + 6) = 2x2 + 12x - 12x - 72 = 2x2 - 72 (2x + 12)(x - 6) = 2x2 - 12x + 12 x - 72 = 2x2 - 72
Can 2x2-12x-80 be factored?
Yes because dividing all terms by 2 it becomes x2-6x-40 = (x-10)(x+4) when factored
What is the solution of 2x2-12x plus 16 equals 0?
2*2 - 12x +16 =0 4 - 12x +16 =0 -12x + 16 +4 =0 -12x + 20 =0 -12x = -20 x = 1.666666667
What does x equal in 2x squared plus 6 equals 30?
2x2 + 6 = 30 is your statement.2x2 = 24x2 = 12x = ±√12x = ±√(4*3)x = 2√3 or x = -2√3
Solve 2x2 plus 12x plus 11?
There is no rational factorisation to this expression.
