3. x4 + 3x2 + 2x3 + 6x Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 3x^2 - 27x + 60
Factor out 3 and divide each term by 3.
3(x^2 - 9x + 20)
Now factor what lies inside the parentheses.
3(x - 5)(x - 4)
Notice that the answer includes THREE factors and they are: 3(x - 5)(x - 4)
