Question

Factor completely

Answer 1

\[m^3n-8m^2n^2+12mn^3\]

Answer 2

there is m2n and m2n2 and mn2 ?

Answer 3

the 1st is m^3n and then 2nd one is correct and 3rd is mn^3

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

m3n -8m2n2 +12mn3 yes ?

Answer 6

yes that is correct.

Answer 7

mn(m2 -8mn +12n2)

Answer 8

so than m2-8mn +12n2 =(m-2n)(m-6n)

Answer 9

than this all will be mn(m-2n)(m-6n)

Answer 10

ok ?

Answer 11

do you understand it ?

Answer 12

sorta but not really sorry im terrible at math :/

Answer 13

what is not clearly ?

Answer 14

what is the first step

Answer 15

first you see that mn is the common term in every terms so than this can be extracting than you get mn(....)

Answer 16

ok ?

Answer 17

and after this inside parantheses you have m2-8mn+12n2 so here you need get two numbers a and b so than a+b =-8 and a*b=12

Answer 18

a+b=-8 so -6-2=-8 and -6*-2=12

Answer 19

right ?

Answer 20

now is clearly ?
