Question

Factor completely 4x4− 20x3 + 12x2.

Answer 1

Answer: The complete factorized expression is $4x^2(x^2-5x+3).$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to factor the following expression completely :

$E=4x^4-20x^3+12x^2.$

To factor the given expression completely, first we need to take the common terms out and then we will try to factor the rest of the expression.

The factorization is as follows :

$E\\\\=4x^4-20x^3+12x^2\\\\=4x^2(x^2-5x+3).$

Since the expression cannot be further factorized, so the complete factorized expression is

$4x^2(x^2-5x+3).$

Thus, the complete factorized expression is $4x^2(x^2-5x+3).$

Answer 2

4x2 * (x2 + 5x - 3) is the final factorization
