Question

Which is the completely factored form of 12x4 + 39x3 + 9x2?

3x2(x – 3)(4x – 1)
3x2(x + 3)(4x + 1)
3x(x + 3)(4x + 1)
3x(x – 3)(4x + 1)

Answer 1

Give me a minute and then I'll help

Answer 2

Ok first things first, you have to factor out your common term. In this case it's 3x. Then you will need to factor the rest of it (4x2...is that enough I don't want to give much more cus I don't wanna get banned

Answer 3

Uhh I just want to note that there is no 4x^2 in the answer choices. This is because the common factor is 3x^2
