What is the factorization of the quadratic expression 2x² + 8x + 8?

2(x + 2)(x +2)

2(x + 1)(x +4)

2(x + 1)(x +2)

None of these

The expression is 2x² + 8x + 8. First, factor out 2:

→ 2(x² + 4x + 4)

Now factor the quadratic:

→ x² + 4x + 4 = (x + 2)(x + 2)

So the full factorization is 2(x + 2)(x + 2).
