Question

Use the grouping method to factor this polynomial.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. (x² + 12)·(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Question; Factor x³ + 2·x² + 12·x + 24, using the grouping method

The given polynomial is presented as follows;

x³ + 2·x² + 12·x + 24

Using the grouping method, we have;

(x³ + 2·x²)( + 12·x + 24)

Which gives;

x²·(x + 2) + 12·(x + 2)

Therefore, we get;

(x² + 12)·(x + 2)

The correct option is A. (x² + 12)·(x + 2).
