Question from Billy: I need help factoring the following question: |
Hi Billy,
Always, the first step is to look for a common factor.
\[4x^2 - 10 x + 16 = 2(2x^2 - 5x + 8).\]
I tried for a few minutes to factor this but I was unsuccessful. You can always check for roots using the general quadratic.
