Question

factor 12p^4+61p^3q+5p^q^2

Answer 1

There are 2 variables here. BTW, is that the correct equation?

Answer 2

it says factor the trinomial by grouping

Answer 3

Can you draw out the equation?

Answer 4

thats the right question

Answer 5

Ya, That's different from what you wrote.

Answer 6

oh yea sorry the question is 12p^4+61p^3q+5p^2q^2

Answer 7

So it was 5p^2 at the end?
If I would factor this, I would factor out p^2
Which should give me:

p^2(12p^2+61pq+5q^2)

Now you can factor the inside of the parentheses and get:
p^2(p+5q)(12p+q)

Answer 8

it worked

Answer 9
