Question

what's the gcf of

2x^3+12x^2+7x+42

Answer 1

1

Answer 2

so there is none?

Answer 3

the GCF is 1

Answer 4

okay i can't copy and past the problem. so but it says:

Answer 5

use the grouping method to factor the polynomial below.

Answer 6

then that was the problem... and idk what to do

Answer 7

u mean the above question that u had put to us??

Answer 8

wait im sorry what?

Answer 9

2x^3+12x^2+7x+42
----------- ------
group1 group2
you treat them as two groups, the first one consisting of the first two terms and the second one consisting of the last two terms
then you take out common terms from the first two and the common terms from the last two as follows
2x^3+12x^2+7x+42
2x²(x + 6) +7(x + 6)

now you see both products have (x + 6) common, so take it out and the final answer is
(x + 6)(2x² + 7)

these are the two factors...

Answer 10

ahhaa i see ! that meks much more sense

Answer 11

is that what u wanted????

Answer 12

yessir

Answer 13

if u r satisfied, pls click GOOD ANSWER button for me....☺☻

Answer 14

now i have a few more if you don't mind.

Answer 15

Answer 16

okay

Answer 17

same directions as before.
x^3+2x^2+4x+8

Answer 18

it's like w test thing so i can't put them all like together

Answer 19

x²(x + 2) +4(x + 2)
(x + 2) ( x² + 4)

once you get the terms in the bracket for first two terms, then write the same thing in the bracket for last two terms and then see what you have to put outside the second bracket....

Answer 20

i guess if u r giving an online test, then this help amounts to cheating.....:)

Answer 21

haha shh. help is allowed. i'm in need to pass

Answer 22

14x^5+6x^3

Answer 23

2x^3(7x^2 + 3)

Answer 24

this one is asking what's the gcf

Answer 25

GCF is 2x^3

Answer 26

alright.

2x^4+8x^3+18x

Answer 27

GCF is 2x

Answer 28

so its 2x(x^3+4x^2+6)

Answer 29

?

Answer 30

no it is 2x(x^3+4x^2+9)

Answer 31

6x^5+36x^2+24x

Answer 32

6x(x^4 + 6x + 4)

Answer 33

next question put as a new post so that i can get medal....☺
