How do you factor the polynomial 32 - 8y2?

Answer 1

write the problem: 27x4-48x2y2

factor out 4x from both: 4x(27-48y)

factor out the 3's: 4x * 3 (9-16y)

simplify: 12x(9-16y)

if you want, factor out -1 to put y in front: -12x(16y-9)

both answers are correct

Answer 2

Factor out -1: -1(x2-3x-28) = -(x+4)(x-7) = (x + 4)(7 - x)

Answer 3

(x - 7)(y - 2)(y + 2)

Answer 4

8(4 - y2)

8(2 + y)(2 - y)

Answer 5

(3x + 2y)(3x - 2y)

Answer 6

4x2(x2-7x+10)

4x2(x-2)(x-5)

Answer 7

(x+1)(x+7)
