Full solution

Q. Factor.\newline2g3+2g27g72g^3 + 2g^2 - 7g - 7
  1. Group Terms: Group terms to find common factors.\newlineGroup the first two terms and the last two terms separately.\newline(2g3+2g2)(7g+7)(2g^3 + 2g^2) - (7g + 7)
  2. Factor Common Factors: Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.\newlineFrom the first group, factor out 2g22g^2.\newline2g2(g+1)(7g+7)2g^2(g + 1) - (7g + 7)\newlineFrom the second group, factor out 7-7.\newline2g2(g+1)7(g+1)2g^2(g + 1) - 7(g + 1)
  3. Factor Binomial Factor: Factor out the common binomial factor.\newlineBoth groups now have a common factor of (g+1)(g + 1).\newlineFactor out (g+1)(g + 1).\newline(g+1)(2g27)(g + 1)(2g^2 - 7)
  4. Check Quadratic Factor: Check if the quadratic factor can be factored further.\newlineThe quadratic 2g272g^2 - 7 does not factor nicely with integer coefficients, so it is already in its simplest form.
