Determine whether the following polynomials can be factored by grouping. If so, factor the polynomials showing all work. If not, explain why this method will not work.

4x2 + 12xy + 2x + 2y
3m2 + 6mn + 7m + 14n

anonymous · Answer

the first cannot be factored by grouping im pretty sure.

anonymous · Answer

second take out the 3m from the first part and 7 from the second--3m(m+2n)+7(m+2n)--(3m+7)(m+2n)

pretty sure thats right :/
