6z3–27z2+12z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are you trying to do here, simplify? If so, we want to find a factor that can be pulled out of each term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6z^3 - 27z^2 + 12z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3z can be pulled out, I got this so far

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3z(2z - 9z + 4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats right, but you're missing your z^2 in the first term inside the parentheses

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3z(2z-3)(z+1)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cant go further then 3z(2z^2 - 9z + 4) so we need to solve this like this: \[3z(2z^2 - 9z + 4)\]divide both sides by 3 \[z(2z^2-9z+4)\] solve each separetely split into two equations \[z=0 \]or\[2z^2-9z+4=0\] can you continue from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Sabot3 No, if you multiply out your simplification it doesn't match the original, so you factored incorrectly.
