Step-by-step explanation:
Just for a clarification and please ask your teacher, in the equation
[tex]a {}^{2} - 8a - 48[/tex]
the given factor from the choice below was
[tex](a + 12)(a - 4)[/tex]
which is if you simplify it will give you an answer of
[tex]a {}^{2} + 8a - 48[/tex]
So please tell your teacher that the correct factor of an equation
[tex]a {}^{2} - 8a - 48[/tex]
is (a – 12)(a + 4) because –12a +4a = –8a which is that is the middle term in the given equation.
Hope it will help you and i made it clear in my explanation.
