Factor the polynomial completely. 2x2 + 2x - 4 The GCF for each term of the polynomial is. There are terms to be factored. The product of prime polynomials is.

The correct factorization would be 2 (x + 2) (x - 1).

In order to find this, start by taking out the GCF for the whole equation.

2x^2 + 2x - 4

2 (x^2 + x - 2)

Now you can factor the parenthesis separately.

x^2 + x - 2

(x + 2) (x - 1)

Then just put all 3 parts together.

2 (x + 2) (x - 1)

1. 2

2. 3

3. 2 (x+2) (x-1)
