Question

Factor completely: 2x3 + 4x2 + 6x + 12

Answer 1

take x common and you will get an equation(quadratic ) so you can easily solve it...

Answer 2

I have no clue what to do with it

Answer 3

One of your factors will be (x+2). Do you know how to to divide polynomials using long division or synthetic division to find the remaining quadratic equation?

Answer 4

no :(

Answer 5

When I factor out (x-2), I get the quadratic equation:\[2x ^{2}+6\]You will need to use the quadratic formula to solve for the other two factors.

quadratic formula

\[(-b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac})(/2a)\]

So a=2 b=0 and c=6
