factor the poloynomial completely. 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 3x + 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2x^3+4x^2)+(3x+6) = 2x^2(x+2)+3(x+2) factor out (x+2); so (x +2)+2x^2+3)

OpenStudy (radar):

\[(2x ^{2}+3)(x+2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about ( x^2 + 3)(x+2)

OpenStudy (radar):

What do you get when you multiply X^2 and x? I get x^3 not 2x^3 which is in the original problem.

OpenStudy (radar):

That won't work for that plus other reasons.
