Answer:
[tex] ( q - 2 ) ( q - 6 ) [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following quadratic expression and we are to factorize it:
[tex] q^2 - 8q + 12 [/tex]
We are to find factors of 12 such that when multiplied they give a product of 12 and when added, they give a result of -8.
[tex] q^2 - 2q - 6q + 12 [/tex]
[tex] q ( q - 2 ) - 6 ( q - 2 ) [/tex]
[tex] ( q - 2 ) ( q - 6 ) [/tex]
