Question

Consider the polynomial p(x)=8x3+12x2+2x+3.

Answer 1

A: $(4x^2+1)(2x+3)$

B: grouping

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the polynomial: $p(x)=8x^3+12x^2+2x+3$

Part A: What is the correct factorization of $p(x)=8x^3+12x^2+2x+3$ over the integers?

We need to factorize the term $p(x)=8x^3+12x^2+2x+3$

Factorizing by grouping:

$p(x)=8x^3+12x^2+2x+3$

$p(x)=(8x^3+12x^2)+(2x+3)$

$p(x)=4x^2(2x+3)+1(2x+3)$

$p(x)=(4x^2+1)(2x+3)$

So, factors of the term $p(x)=8x^3+12x^2+2x+3$ are $p(x)=(4x^2+1)(2x+3)$

Part B: What method is used to factor p(x)=8x3+12x2+2x+3?

The method used to factor the given polynomial is grouping.

We group the terms and then find the common terms in that specific group

So, the answers are:

A: $(4x^2+1)(2x+3)$

B: grouping
