Question 131055


{{{24x^3+6x^2-4x-1}}} Start with the given expression


{{{(24x^3+6x^2)+(-4x-1)}}} Group like terms



{{{6x^2(4x+1)-1(4x+1)}}} Factor out the GCF {{{6x^2}}} out of the first group. Factor out the GCF {{{-1}}} out of the second group



{{{(6x^2-1)(4x+1)}}} Since we have the common term {{{4x+1}}}, we can combine like terms


So {{{24x^3+6x^2-4x-1}}} factors to {{{(6x^2-1)(4x+1)}}}
