# 1

12t^3+14t^2+4t

2t(6t^2+7t+2)

2t(3t+2)(2t+1)

Ans: 2t(3t+2)(2t+1)

# 2

w^9/w^12 = w^(9-12) = w^(-3) = 1/w^3

Ans: 1/w^3

factor the polynomial completely
:
1. 12t^3 + 14t^2 + 4t
:
Factor out 2t:
2t(6t^2 + 7t + 2)
:
factor the quadratic
2t(3t + 2)(2t + 1)
:
:
2. reduce the expression to the lowest terms
when you divide subtract exponents
= =
