Question

When 3x^2+6x-12 is factored, the result is:

Answer 1

first take out the 3 to give

3(x^2 + 2x - 4)

now factor what's in the parentheses

Answer 2

thnx

Answer 3

to factor this you need to find 2 numbers whose product is -4 ( to give the -4 at the end) and when added give the coefficient of x ( +2 )
- i'm taking a look at this again and can see that this is not possible

Answer 4

so that as far as we can go the factors are
3(x^2 + 2x - 4)

Answer 5

thnx
