Question

factoring quadratic expression...

Answer 1

\[\huge 12x^2 + 12x + 3\]

Answer 2

@Nnesha @hartnn

Answer 3

factor out a 3 first

Answer 4

\[\large 3(4x^2 + 4x + 1) \]

Answer 5

Then you'll notice something about the resulting quadratic

Answer 6

hint: \[(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2\]

Answer 7

i still don't understand

Answer 8

using my model, let\[\large a=2x\] and \[\large b=1\]

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

can you please get to the point?

Answer 11

ok, then \[12x^2+12x+3 = 3(2x+1)^2\]

Answer 12

there are like 4+ ways to factor quadratic equation
i like AC method
where we find two numbers when we multiply them we should get product of AC (a=leading coefficient , C= constant )
and when we add them we should get middle term which is b
\[\rm Ax^2+Bx+C\]
a=leading coefficient
b=middle term
c-constant

Answer 13

multiply A times C
what two numbers you should multiply to get 4 and when you add them you should get 4
