Question

factor a trinomial 3a+21a^2+36

Answer 1

it cant be factored

Answer 2

why not?

Answer 3

unless you consider imaginary solutions. then it can be. otherwise theres no real solutions and thus no real factors

Answer 4

the solutions are a = (1/14) (-1(+/-)i sqrt(335))

Answer 5

3 (7 a^2+a+12)

Answer 6

i forgot about that.. for some reason i overlooked the fact that factoring doesnt always mean seperating into factors...forgot that pulling out numerical factors is also considered factoring
