Question

Which shows one way to determine the factors of 12x3 – 2x2 + 18x – 3 by grouping?

Answer 1

Well first you would break the equation down so the equation comes to 2x^2(6x-1)+3(6x-1) and then you Factor out  common terms  in the first two terms and then in the last two terms. Factor out the common term 6x-1 and you get your answer (6x-1)(2x^2+3).
