Factor the Polynomial completely 4x^3+28x^2+4x+28 I got this answer but believe it is incorrect 4x(x+7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ya thats incorrect

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can u PLZ do it again

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have tried and i get stuck at this step 4x(x^2+7x+x+7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That step cannot be done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x(x^2+7x+x+7)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x is not in all terms, so you can't factor it out to the front

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That cannot be done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YA @EulerGroupie i very correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So that gets me to 4(x^3)+7x^2+x+7)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x^3+28x^2+4x+28 4x^3+4x+28x^2+28 4x(x^2+1)+28(x^2+1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That may help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Grouping is the way to go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you
