Factor:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%5E2%2B8x%2B4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The first term has the factors: $\"highlight%28%283x%29%28x%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The last term has the factors: $\"%281%29%284%29\"$ or $\"highlight_green%28%282%29%282%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since the middle term is: $\"8x\"$ we can get this by $\"%283x%29%282%29%2B%28x%29%282%29\"$ , so...
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3x%5E2%2B8x%2B4+=+%283x%2B2%29%28x%2B2%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
