Kara incorrectly factored 32x2 + 48x + 18 as shown. Describe her error and correctly factor the expression. 32x2 + 48x + 18 = 2 (16x2 + 24x + 9) = 2 (8x + 3) (8x + 3) = 2 (8x + 3) 2

Kara incorrectly factored 2 (16x^2 + 24x + 9) she did not find the correct factors when she factored out. The correct factored expression would be 2 (4x+3) ^2

Step-by-step explanation:

32x^2 + 48x + 18

2 (16x^2 + 24x + 9)

2 (16x^2 + 12x) (12x + 9)

2 4x (4x + 3) 3 (4x + 3)

2 (4x + 3) (4x + 3)

2 (4x + 3) ^2
