Question

Is the polynomial 3x2(x2 + 2x + 1) completely factored? If not, factor it.
A.no; 3x2(x + 1)(x + 2)
B.true
C.no; 3x2(x + 1)(x − 1)
D.no; 3x2 (x + 1)2

Answer 1

For this case we have the following polynomial:
 3x2 (x2 + 2x + 1)
 We observe that the polynomial is not completely factored.
 The expression in parentheses can be factored.
 We then have to rewrite:
 3x2 ((x + 1) (x + 1))
 3x ^ 2 (x + 1) ^ 2
 Answer:
 D.no; 3x2 (x + 1) 2
