Question

how would i go about factoring this? 2d^3+8d+12

Answer 1

first factor out a 2
then find a pair of numbers that add to the coefficient of the middle term, and multiply to the last term
those numbers will be your a and b in the form
(x+a)(x+b)

Answer 2

i got to 2(d^3+4d+6) isnt that all i can do?

Answer 3

It can only be factored like this
2(d³ + 4d + 6)
or this
d(2d² + 8)+12

Answer 4

so im done?

Answer 5

Yea, I guess so
