Question

6x^3-28x^2+16x

Answer 1

what is the question?

Answer 2

im trying to find the trinomial factorization

Answer 3

the correct answer is 2x(3x-2)(x-4) i just don't know how to get it

Answer 4

First, find the common factor of all term,
\[6x ^{3}-28x ^{2}+16x\]
can you tell what is the common factor of 6x^3, 28x^2, and 16x ?

Answer 5

2x right?

Answer 6

yes, now you can factor the expression
what is the result if you factor out 2x ?

Answer 7

2x(3x^2-14x+8x)

Answer 8

yes...,
now you should factor the expression in the bracket,
can you factroze it?

Answer 9

how do i do that?

Answer 10

is it 3x^2-6x^2

Answer 11

wait.., I think you did a little mistake before, the last term is 16x, so if you factor 2x, it should be 8 in the bracket
so, you should get 2x(3x^2-14x+8)

Answer 12

ok and then what do i do from there

Answer 13

to factor \[3x ^{2}-14x+8\]
you will separate -14x become ax+bx such that
a+b = -14 and ab=3 x 8 = 24
can you find a and b?

Answer 14

ok thanks!
