Dividing all terms by 4 gives: x2-6x+8 = (x-2)(x-4) when factored
If that's +28, the answer is (x - 4)
12n2 plus 8n?
b(b - 8)
The highest common factor of the given numbers is 1
(x - y)(x^2 + xy + y^2
12x ^2 -32x-12
c2 + 4c + 4 =(c + 2) (c + 2)= (c + 2)2
Find one factor by substituting in values, then use long division. You can then apply the quadratic formula to the result - or factorise it by sight, of course
12x2-20x-8 = (12x+4)(x-2)
To factorise a polynomial completely, first look for the greatest common factor (GCF) of the terms and factor it out. Next, apply techniques such as grouping, using the difference of squares, or recognizing special patterns (like trinomials or perfect squares) to break down the remaining polynomial. Continue this process until you can no longer factor, resulting in a product of irreducible factors. Always check your work by expanding the factors to ensure you return to the original polynomial.
If that's +28, the answer is (x - 4)
A perfect trinomial must be of the form a2x2 ± 2abxy + b2y2 and this factorises to (ax ± by)2.

6a squared-8ab+2a factor completely and check mentally
there always is one-every # has the factor 1 hint:)
This can't be explained in a few words. Basically you check the different special cases, mentioned in a school algebra course: whether there is a common factor, whether a binomial is a difference of squares, etc. Check a high school algebra book for more details.
