Q. Factor 64f−64g+96 to identify the equivalent expressions.Choose 2 answers:A 64(f−g+2)B 8(8f−8g+12)C 4(16f−16+24g)D 32(2f−2g+3)
Identify Common Factor: First, we look for a common factor in all three terms of the polynomial 64f−64g+96.
Factor Out GCF: The common factor is 64 for the first two terms and 32 for the third term, but since we want a common factor for all terms, we take the greatest common factor, which is 32.
Check Factored Expression: We factor out the 32 from each term: 32(2f−2g+3).
Evaluate Option A: Now we check if the factored expression 32(2f−2g+3) is equivalent to any of the given options.
Evaluate Option B: Option A is 64(f−g+2), which is not equivalent to 32(2f−2g+3) because if we distribute 64, we get 64f−64g+128, which is not the original polynomial.
Evaluate Option C: Option B is 8(8f−8g+12), which is equivalent to 32(2f−2g+3) because if we distribute 8, we get 64f−64g+96, which is the original polynomial.
Evaluate Option C: Option B is 8(8f−8g+12), which is equivalent to 32(2f−2g+3) because if we distribute 8, we get 64f−64g+96, which is the original polynomial.Option C is 4(16f−16+24g), which is not equivalent to 32(2f−2g+3) because the terms inside the parentheses are not in the correct order, and there is a missing g in the second term.
