factor-2x^2-4x-2

Solution

factor

- 2 x^{2} - 4 x - 2

Solution

- 2 (x + 1)^{2}

Solution steps

- 2 x^{2} - 4 x - 2

Factor out common term

- 2 : - 2 (x^{2} + 2 x + 1)

= - 2 (x^{2} + 2 x + 1)

Factor

x^{2} + 2 x + 1 : (x + 1) (x + 1)

= - 2 (x + 1) (x + 1)

Apply exponent rule:

aa = a^{2}

(x + 1) (x + 1) = (x + 1)^{2}

= - 2 (x + 1)^{2}
