6x2 + 17x + 12
this is of the form ax^2 + bx +c
the roots x1,x2 will be
+x=%28-b%2B-sqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F2a
+x1=%28-b%2Bsqrt%28b%5E2-4ac%29%29%2F2a
+x1=%28-17%2Bsqrt%2817%5E2-4%2A6%2A12%29%29%2F2%2A6
x1=-1.33
+x2=%28-17-sqrt%2817%5E2-4%2A6%2A12%29%29%2F2%2A6

6x2 + 17x + 12
= 6x2 + 8x + 9x + 12
= 2x(3x + 4) + 3(3x + 4)
= (2x + 3)(3x + 4)
