Question

$$2 x ^ { 2 } - 98$$

Factor

$2\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)$

Solution Steps

Factor out $2$.

$$2\left(x^{2}-49\right)$$

Consider $x^{2}-49$. Rewrite $x^{2}-49$ as $x^{2}-7^{2}$. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: $a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)$.

$$\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)$$

Rewrite the complete factored expression.

$$2\left(x-7\right)\left(x+7\right)$$

Evaluate

$2\left(x^{2}-49\right)$
