Question

factor the following polynomial completely by grouping. if the expression cannot be factored, enter the expression as is.
$v^{2}+4v - 8v - 32$

Explanation:

Step1: Group the terms

$(v^{2}+4v)+(- 8v - 32)$

Step2: Factor out the greatest - common factor from each group

$v(v + 4)-8(v + 4)$

Step3: Factor out the common binomial factor

$(v + 4)(v - 8)$

Answer:

$(v + 4)(v - 8)$
