An expression is shown below:

4ck2 + 10k2 − 16ck − 40k

Part A: Rewrite the expression by factoring out the greatest common factor. (4 points)

Part B: Factor the entire expression completely. Show the steps of your work. (6 points)

Respuesta :

Part A:

The greatest common factor is 2k

2k(2ck + 5k - 8c - 20)

Part B:

factor by grouping

  • 2k (k(2c + 5) - 4(2c + 5))
  • 2k(k - 4)(2c + 5)

2k(k - 4)(2c + 5) is the final factored form
