Factor the polynomial

Answer 1

The polynomial?

Answer 2

8x^2z^2-4xz^2-12z^2

Answer 3

Lets do this step by step so you can understand it!

Answer 4

okay thank you!!

Answer 5

But first do you have any answer choices?

Answer 6

nope

Answer 7

Answer 10

Alright so pull out the like factors. Can you do this?

Answer 11

@studyx3 ?

Answer 12

the like factors of 4 and 12?

Answer 13

8x^2z^2 - 4xz^2 - 12z^2 = 4z^2 • (2x^2 - x - 3)

Answer 14

The part on the right is our like factor portion.

Answer 15

Now for now we will ignore 4z^2

Answer 16

~The first term is, 2x^2 its coefficient is 2 .
~The middle term is, -x its coefficient is -1 .
~The last term, the constant, is -3
So I want you to multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant
