Question

Answer 1

\(a,2x^2-16x=2x\left(x-8\right)\\b,x^2-10x+24=x^2-6x-4x+24\\ =x\left(x-6\right)-4\left(x-6\right)\\ =\left(x-4\right)\left(x-6\right) \)

Answer 2

a)

\(2x^2-16x\\ =2x\left(x-8\right)\)

b)

\(x^2-10x+24\\ =x^2-10x+25-1\\ =\left(x-5\right)^2-1\\ =\left(x-6\right)\left(x+4\right)\)
