Two students, Jennifer and Jamal, factored the trinomial 6x2 − 3x − 9. Jamal factored it as 3(2x − 3)(x + 1) and Jennifer factored it as (2x − 3)(3x + 3). Indicate which student factored the trinomial completely and which student did not, and explain why.

OpenStudy (misty1212):

you see any common factors in the expression \(3x+3\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3

OpenStudy (misty1212):

then it is not factored completely is it? if it was, there would be no common factors in the terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. I agree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer is Jamal?
