Question 183908: can someone please show me how to use grouping to factor a polynomial completely thank you
x3+ax+3a+3x2 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x^3+ax+3a+3x^2
---
Factor the 1st two and the last two terms separately to get:
x(x^2+a) + 3(x^2+a)
---
Factor out the common factor to get:
(x^2+a)(x+3)
====================
