Question

x^3-6x^2+2x-12

Answer 1

factor by grouping then check your answer

Answer 2

Do you have an answer yet, or do you need help factoring it?

Answer 3

need nelp

Answer 4

help

Answer 5

x^3+6x^2-2x-12


x^3 + 6x^2 = group 1


-2x - 12 = group 2
x^3 + 6x^2 becomes x^2(x + 6)


-2x - 12 becomes -2(x + 6)


(x^2 - 2)(x + 6)

Answer 6

Okay, to factor this start by writing the equation in descending order of exponents. You've that already. Then put parentheses around each pair of terms starting from the left:
\[(x^3-6x^2) + (2x-12)\]Now, factor each of those grouped pairs. What do you get?

Answer 7

don't know

Answer 8

Factor \[(x^3-6x^2)\]are there any common factors?

Answer 9

Hint:\[x^3-6x^2 = x*x*x - 6*x*x\]
