SOLUTION: what polynomial of lowest degree must be mutiplied to 2x^3-5x^2-4x+12 to make it a perfect square?

Question 687446: what polynomial of lowest degree must be mutiplied to 2x^3-5x^2-4x+12 to make it a perfect square?
Answer by Edwin McCravy(20060) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

I'm thinking this is a trick question:

The zero polynomial is 0 and it is of zero degree and 
it is a perfect square, so if you multiply any polynomial by
the zero polynomial 0, you'll get the zero polynomial 0.

Answer: the zero polynomial which is just 0

I know this is a very trivial answer but taking the question
literally, it is the only correct solution.
