Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

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

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 $\bold{-6x}$

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

$\boxed{\bold{Mordancy}}$
