Factor. 5x^3 + 10x^2 - 8x - 16 ______

Factorize 5x^3 + 10x^2: Write the factored form of 5x^3 + 10x^2. Factor out 5x^2 from 5x^3 and 10x^2. 5x^3 + 10x^2 = 5x^2(x + 2)Factorize -8x - 16: Write the factored form of -8x - 16. Factor out -8 from -8x and -16. -8x - 16 = -8(x + 2)Factorize 5x^3 + 10x^2 - 8x - 16: We found: 5x^3 + 10x^2 = 5x^2(x + 2) -8x - 16 = -8(x + 2) Write the factored form of 5x^3 + 10x^2 - 8x - 16. Factor out (x + 2) from 5x^2(x + 2) and -8(x + 2). So, the factored form of 5x^3 + 10x^2 - 8x - 16 is: (5x^2 - 8)(x + 2)

5x^3 + 10x^2 - 8x - 16

Factorize $5x^3 + 10x^2$ : Write the factored form of $5x^3 + 10x^2$ . $\newline$ Factor out $5x^2$ from $5x^3$ and $10x^2$ . $\newline$ $5x^3 + 10x^2 = 5x^2(x + 2)$
Factorize $-8x - 16$ : Write the factored form of $-8x - 16$ . $\newline$ Factor out $-8$ from $-8x$ and $-16$ . $\newline$ $-8x - 16 = -8(x + 2)$
Factorize $5x^3 + 10x^2 - 8x - 16$ : We found: $\newline$ $5x^3 + 10x^2 = 5x^2(x + 2)$ $\newline$ $-8x - 16 = -8(x + 2)$ $\newline$ Write the factored form of $5x^3 + 10x^2 - 8x - 16$ . $\newline$ Factor out $(x + 2)$ from $5x^2(x + 2)$ and $-8(x + 2)$ . $\newline$ So, the factored form of $5x^3 + 10x^2 - 8x - 16$ is: $(5x^2 - 8)(x + 2)$
