how do I factor 12x^3-27x^2-27x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can start by factoring out "3x" from each term. That will leave you with a quadratic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x1= 2.08 x2= -1.08 x3= 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The quadratic can be factored by use of the quadratic formula and it will give real, though irrational zeros.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the quadratic, use:\[x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac} }{ 2a }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Facoted for looks like 3(x-3)x(4x+3), so the above zeros are incorrect.

*factored form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or 3x(x-3)(4x+3). It depends how you want to rearrange it.
