Factor:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3%2B2x%5E2%2Bx\"$ Notice that eah term contains a factor of $\"x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%29x%5E2%2B2x%2A%28x%29%2B1%2A%28x%29\"$ First factor out the $\"x\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%28x%5E2%2B2x%2B1%29\"$ Now factor the trinomial in the parentheses.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight_green%28x%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29%29\"$ which can also be written as:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28x%28x%2B1%29%5E2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
