x2 - 4x - 21 = x2 - 7x + 3x - 21 = x(x - 7) + 3(x - 7) = (x - 7)(x + 3)
(x + 3)(x - 7)
-17
21
(2x + 4)(2x - 4) to check your answer, use the FOIL method (first, outside, inside, last) F.... 2x x 2x = 4x^2 0.... 2x x -4 = -8x I..... 2x x 4 = 8x L.... 4 x -4 = -16 so 4x^2 - 16 = (2x + 4)(2x - 4)
x(x - 2)
First, factor out the coefficient of x (in this case, 4) 4x+20----> 4(x+20/4) --> 4(x+5) then, go make yourself a sandwich.
x2 - 4x - 21 = (x-7)(x+3)
x(x-4)
(4x - 7y)(4x + 7y)
4(x^2 + x + 3)
(4x + 5)(x - 3)
No
4(x - 1)(x + 1)
4X^2 - 8X factor out 4X 4X(X - 2)
4*x*x*6*x
2(x - 1)(2x + y)
4(x+y)^2
x2 + 4x + 3 =(x + 3) (x + 1)
