Write Quadratic Expression: Write down the quadratic expression that needs to be factored.The given quadratic expression is 2x2+24x+22.
Find Greatest Common Factor: Look for a greatest common factor (GCF) that can be factored out from all the terms in the quadratic expression.The GCF of 2x2, 24x, and 22 is 2.
Factor Out GCF: Factor out the GCF from the quadratic expression.2x2+24x+22=2(x2+12x+11)
Factor Quadratic Expression: Now, we need to factor the quadratic expression inside the parentheses, x2+12x+11. We are looking for two numbers that multiply to 11 (the constant term) and add up to 12 (the coefficient of the x term). The numbers that satisfy these conditions are 1 and 11.
Use Two Numbers: Write the factored form of the quadratic expression using the two numbers found in Step 4.2(x2+12x+11)=2(x+1)(x+11)
Write Factored Form: Check the factored expression by expanding it to ensure it matches the original expression.2(x+1)(x+11)=2(x2+11x+x+11)=2(x2+12x+11)=2x2+24x+22This matches the original expression, so the factorization is correct.
