Question

How can we factorise the expression: 2x^6+17x^3+8?​

Answer 1

Answer:

$(a + 2)( {a}^{2} - 2a + 4 )(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1)$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x^6+17x^3+8 \\ = 2x^6+16x^3 + {x}^{3} +8 \\ = 2{x}^{3} ( {x}^{3} + 8) + 1( {x}^{3} + 8) \\ = ( {x}^{3} + 8)(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1) \\ = ( {x}^{3} + {2}^{3} )(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1) \\ = (a + 2)( {a}^{2} - 2a + {2}^{2} )(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1) \\ = (a + 2)( {a}^{2} - 2a + 4 )(2 {x}^{ 3} + 1)$
