An expression is shown below:

2x3y + 8xy - 4x2y - 16y

part a: rewrite the expression so that the gcf is factored completely. (3 points)

part b: rewrite the expression completely factored. show the steps of your work. (4 points)

part c: if the two middle terms were switched so that the expression became 2x3y - 4x2y + 8xy - 16y, would the factored expression no longer be equivalent to your answer in part b? explain your reasoning. (3 points)

question 2 (essay worth 10 points)

[08.03, 8.05]

part a: write the expression x2 + 2x - 24 as a product of two linear expression

no i do not : ( what is it?

can you make your screen more see able?

then i might be able to .

the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

the root or roots of a polynomial are the values of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to 0. we can find the roots of a polynomial making the expression equal to 0 and then, isolating the variable (it it has just one variable).

for example, given the following polynomial:

the root or zero of the polynomial, can be found by making the expression equal to 0, and then, isolating the variable, so, finding the root we have:

therefore, we have that the root of the polynomial is equal to 2.

we must remember that the number of roots that a polynomial can have, will depend on the degree of the polynomial, a first degree polynomial have will have one single root, a second degree polynomial (quadratic expression) may have two roots and so.

hence the correct option is:

b. a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.

have a nice day!

step by step explanation: when u removing the parentheses and combined them that would be : x+3y-x-y=2y
