Question

Factor completely −2x3 + 6x2.

−x(2x2 − 6x)
2x(−x2 + 3x)
−2x2(x − 3)
Prime

Answer 1

In factoring, look for the numerical and variable coefficients that both terms have. In this example, it would be 2x^2

Answer 2

yes its called the GCF - Greatest Common Factor

Answer 3

Ok, but how do I figure out my answer? I'm so confused..

Answer 4

Since your GCF would be 2x^2 divide it to the given in order to know the rest of the answer. HInt: -2x^2/-2x^3 + (-2x^2/6x^2) = -2x^2 (The remainig answer)

Answer 5

When I divided it, I got -2x

Answer 6

No, try it again
