plz explain
step by step
how do u do ths
i would factor out a 3n as a first step, because each term is divisible by 3n \[3n^4-6n^2+9n =3n(n^3-2n+3)\]
So, start by looking at what you have: 3n^4-6n^2+9n you only have 1 variable, that's good to know. now just look at the coefficients (the numbers before the variables) 3-6+9 what do we know about these? they are all divisible by 3. Now let's look at the variables with out the coefficients: n^4-n^2+n well, we can tell that we can take at most 1 n out of all of these. so let's try taking 3n out of the whole thing, since we know the above: 3n(n^3-3n+3) looks factored to me.
