Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Factor the polynomial: 3x^2 + 12x
  • Step 1: Look at the polynomial 3x^2 + 12x and identify the common factors in both terms.
  • Step 2: Notice that both terms (3x^2 and 12x) have a common factor of 3x.
  • Step 3: Factor out the common term 3x from both terms.
  • Step 4: Write the polynomial as 3x multiplied by what is left after factoring out 3x.
  • Step 5: The remaining part after factoring out 3x is (x + 4).
  • Step 6: Combine the factored term and the remaining part to get the final factored form: 3x(x + 4).
