Question

Can I get some help with the first one.
6p^3-12p^2+9p

Answer 1

Hi there!

The answer is:

`6p {}^(3) - 12 {p}^(2) + 9p = 3p(2 {p}^(2) - 4p + 3)`

We can find this answer by writing the factors.

`6 {p}^(3) = 3 * 2 * p * p* p`

`- 12 {p}^(2) = 3 * - 4 * p * p`

`9p = 3 * 3 * p`

Now we can see that the terms that are in common are 3 and p. Therefore, the GCF is 3p.
