How do you factor 4x^3-2x^2+8?

Answer 1

4x^3-2x^2+8

Reorder the terms:
8 + -2x^2 + 4x^3

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '2'.
2(4 + -x^2 + 2x^3)

Final result: 2(4 + -x^2 + 2x^3)

Answer 2

4x³-2x²+8

First, find any common factors like 2
(4x³-2x²+8)/2
= 2(2x³-x²+4)

Then find any other common factors in the equation.
There is none left, so that's the end of that.
Now you can try figuring out if change 2x³-x²+4 into any kind of form like.. standard, vertex.. etc.
TO me, you cant. So 2(2x³-x²+4) would be your answer.
