Solution
The correct factorization of the polynomial 2x^2 - 12x + 18 is A. 2(x - 3)^2.
Here's the step-by-step process:
-
First, we can factor out a 2 from each term to simplify the polynomial: 2(x^2 - 6x + 9).
-
Then, we can recognize that the expression inside the parentheses is a perfect square trinomial, which can be factored as (x - 3)^2.
So, the factorization of the polynomial 2x^2 - 12x + 18 is 2(x - 3)^2.
