Can somebody explain how to simplify this step by step 6x^3+3x^2+2x

Question

parthkohli · Answer

I guess you need factoring.

agreene · Answer

yeah you can pull a few x and get to a simpler form:

$$6x^3+3x^2+2x \implies x(6x^2+3x+2)\implies x(x(6x+3)+2))$$

parthkohli · Answer

That's more like complicating the expression. :-P

agreene · Answer

@ParthKohli technically the complexity of an expression is the power, it has nothing to do if it seems like a rub goldberg machine lol

umm im afraid i dont think i understand what your meaning is

agreene · Answer

What dont you understand?

anonymous · Answer

all you did was take away the powers and the x's.

anonymous · Answer

never mind i see what you were doing

agreene · Answer

yeah, there isn't much else you can do with this--unless you want to find the complex roots and use them as factors...
