Help me Factor 2(3x^4-x^3-55x^2+33x+180) I really need this help , if you help me I will give you a MEDAL and a Great Fan Testimonial! :)

I figured it out!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay first you can start by finding the multiples of 180. Which is quite a bit. So I'll give you the first two that can help with synthetic division.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-4 and 3 are zeroes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you're left with (x+4)(x-3)(3x^2-4x-15)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then, you factor that polynomial which is (x-3)(3x+5)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you're solution is 2(x-3)^2(x+4)(3x+5)
