What is the factorization of the polynomial below?
2x^2 + 24x + 72
a. (x + 2)(x + 6)
b. (2x + 6)(x + 6)
c. (x + 6)(x + 12)
d. 2(x + 6)(x + 6)

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Begin factoring by removing a GCF.

The GCF is 2.

2x² + 24x + 72 = 2(x² + 12x + 36)

Two numbers which multiply to 36 and add to 12 are 6 and 6.

So it factors completely into 2 (x+6)(x+6).

2(x + 6)(x + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

D.

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
