Question

Complete the factoring

2x^3+10x^2+12x

Answer 1

2x(x^2 +5x +6)=2x(x+2)(x+3)

Answer 2

I got 2(x^3+6x+50)....what did i do wrong?

Answer 3

each term in the trinomial has an x also so you must factor that out too.

Answer 4

i don't think 2(x^3+6x+50) is even a factorization of your posted question...

Answer 5

i probably messed that up.....i hate trinomials

Answer 6

yea. just go through each term of the trinomial and see what they all have in common. then factor that out. :)
