Question

@iambatman How do i factor

5c^3(c^2 + 12c + 36)

Answer 1

add like terms :)

Answer 2

You can use sum of squares

Answer 3

jk
Simplifying
5c3(c2 + 12c + 36)

Reorder the terms:
5c3(36 + 12c + c2)
(36 * 5c3 + 12c * 5c3 + c2 * 5c3)
(180c3 + 60c4 + 5c5)

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '5c3'.
5c3(36 + 12c + c2)

Factor a trinomial.
5c3((6 + c)(6 + c))

Final result:
5c3(6 + c)(6 + c)

im not 100% if im correct

Answer 4

\[(a+b)^2 \implies a^2+2ab+b^2\]

Answer 5

So your a = c
b = 6 :)

Answer 6

so answer is 5c^3(c + 6)^2

Answer 7

Yeah, that looks good :), or you can write it as algebrahelper did
