Which of the following is the correct factored form for the given equation? 2x^2+8x+6=0 (x+3)(2x+4)=0
2(x+3)(x+1)=0
2(x+4)(x-1)=0

It would be 2(x+3)(x+1)=0

Explanation:
I used factor by grouping. You multiply the first term (2) by the last term (6). This gives you 12 then take the factors of 12 that add up to the middle term 8. You get 6 and 2.
It should look like 2x^2+6x+2x+6=0
when you do factor by grouping you factor the first two terms and then the last two terms separately. So you get (2x+2) and (x+3). (2x+2) could be factored into 2(x+1). Then you put everything together and get 2(x+3)(x+1)=0

Answer to your question: a. the fundamental theorem of algebra tells you that the equation will have two complex roots since the degree of the polynomial is 2. the roots are ​ x=1±i7√2 .number of roots=degree of polynomialhere, degree of polynomial is 2 so number of roots will be 2.hope it *_*
