Question

Factor the polynomial -6x^3-12x^2-18x

Answer 1

`\boxed{\bold{-6x\left(x^2+2x+3\right)}}`

Step By Step Explanation:

• Apply Exponent Rule
  `\bold{a^(b+c)=a^ba^c}`

`\bold{x^2=xx}`

`\bold{x^3=x^2x}`

`\bold{-6x^2x-12xx-18x}`

• Rewrite 18:
  `\bold{6\cdot \:3}`

• Rewrite 12:
  `\bold{6\cdot \:2}`

`\bold{-6x^2x-6\cdot \:2xx-6\cdot \:3x}`

• Factor Out Common Term
  `\bold{-6x}`

`\bold{-6x\left(x^2+2x+3\right)}`

`\boxed{\bold{Mordancy}}`

Answer 2
