You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Factor by grouping:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3a%5E3%2B3ab%5E2%2B2a%5E2b%2B2b%5E3\"$ Since there aren't any common factors, you can start factoring by grouping the terms as shown:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%283a%5E3%2B3ab%5E2%29%2B%282a%5E2b%2B2b%5E3%29\"$ Now you can factor common factors from each group:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3a%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29%2B2b%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29\"$ From here, you can factor the common factor of $\"%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28a%5E2%2Bb%5E2%29%283a%2B2b%29\"$ ...and there you have it! \n" ); document.write( "
