Question

If a polynomial has four terms, 3x3 5x 6x2 10, which factoring method can be considered?

Answer 1

The Answer Is factor by grouping

Answer 2

Factor by grouping

Explanation:

We are given that a polynomial has four terms

`3x^3+5x+6x^2+10`

We have to find which factoring method can be used .

The given polynomial is cubic.

Rearrange the terms then, we get

`3x^3+6x^2+5x+10`

`3x^2(x+2)+5(x+2)`

`(x+2)(3x^2+5)`

The method which used there is factor by grouping.

Answer: Factor by grouping
