Question

select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

what is the factored form of this expression?

(8x^3 - 8x^2 - 30x = \text{choose an answer } ( \text{choose an answer } )( \text{choose an answer } ))

Explanation:

Factor out the greatest common factor

$$ 8x^3 - 8x^2 - 30x = 2x(4x^2 - 4x - 15) $$

Factor the quadratic trinomial

$$

Combine the factored components

$$ 8x^3 - 8x^2 - 30x = 2x(2x - 5)(2x + 3) $$
