You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Factor by \"grouping\":
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t%5E3%2B6t%5E2-2t-12\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28t%5E3%2B6t%5E2%29-%282t%2B12%29\"$ Notice, the \"sign\" change!
\n" ); document.write( " $\"t%5E2%28t%2B6%29-2%28t%2B6%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now, factor out (t+6):
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28t%2B6%29%28t%5E2-2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "But, wait, we're not done. Look at the right term, it can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28t%2B6%29%28t%2Bsqrt%282%29%29%28t-sqrt%282%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
