Question

Factor 360t + 10t 3 - 120t 2.

Answer 1

My first thought is to remove what is common in both terms ...with that you should be able to see this much better with smaller number

so what is highest common term in all three terms?

Answer 2

Answer 3

once you determine the highest common term - rewrite what is left in the parenthesis in the proper order.

Answer 4

the greatest common factor is 10t

Answer 5

First get the equation in simplest form

Answer 6

then write them in proper order ( with the terms raised to 3 first , then 2 ...)

Answer 7

correct...now what is left for each term when you remove 10T from each

Answer 8

so we have
10t(t^2 - 12t + 36)

Answer 9

correct

Answer 10

now factor what is in the parenthesis...that should be very straight forward

Answer 11

now you need to factor the expression in the parentheses

Answer 12

the factors will be of the form

( t - a)(t - b) where ab = 36 and a + b = -12

note a and b might be the same number

Answer 13

I think i understand now so the answer would come out to be 10t(t - 6)2 correct?

Answer 14

right on

Answer 15

correct...I hope you understand!
