Factor completely 2c5 + 44c4 + 242c3

OpenStudy (ash2326):

@Caramel_823 We have \[2c^5+44c^4+242c^3\] Can you take \(c^3\)out from each of the terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so now its \[2c ^{2} + 44c + 242c\] right ?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

oh you forget the c with 242, there won't be any

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok so everything else is right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well these are my answer choices : A.2c3(c + 11)2 B. 2(c + 11)2 C. 2c3(c + 11)(c – 11) D. 2c3(c2 + 22c + 121

OpenStudy (ash2326):

We'll get there \[c^3(2c^2+44c+242)\] Now take 2 common from the terms inside the bracket!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok \[c ^{3}(c ^{2}+11c+121)\]

OpenStudy (ash2326):

the 2 will be outside the bracket.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer will be C ?

OpenStudy (ash2326):

nope, we still have one more step \[2c^3(c^2+11c+121)\] Do you know the expansion of \((a+b)^2\)?

@jim_thompson5910 help for a best response?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct answer is > 2c3(c + 11)2
