Answer:

Both are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key understanding here is that you can factor a monomial in many different ways!

To check if any of the factorizations is correct, we can multiply the factors and see if their product is really 12x^712x

7

12, x, start superscript, 7, end superscript.

Hint #22 / 4

\begin{aligned} (\blueD{4}\maroonD{x^3})(\blueD{3}\maroonD{x^4})&=(\blueD{4})(\blueD{3})(\maroonD{x^3})(\maroonD{x^4}) \\\\ &=\blueD{12}\maroonD{x^7} \end{aligned}

(4x

3

)(3x

4

)

 

=(4)(3)(x

3

)(x

4

)

=12x

7

So Ibuki is correct!

Hint #33 / 4

\begin{aligned} (\blueD{2}\maroonD{x^6})(\blueD{6}\maroonD{x})&=(\blueD{2})(\blueD{6})(\maroonD{x^6})(\maroonD{x}) \\\\ &=\blueD{12}\maroonD{x^7} \end{aligned}

(2x

6

)(6x)

 

=(2)(6)(x

6

)(x)

=12x

7

So Melodie is also correct!

Both Ibuki and Melodie are correct.

Both Ibuki and Melodie have correctly factored  [tex]12x^{7}[/tex].

What is meant by factor?

A number or algebraic expression that divides another number or expression evenly is called factor.

How to find  Ibuki and Melodie factored 12x^7 correctly?

According to the problem,

  • Ibuki factored   [tex]12x^{7}[/tex] as  (4x^3)(3x^4).

This is absolutely correct because the terms (4x^3) and (3x^4) if multiplied gives  [tex]12x^{7}[/tex].

And if any of these terms divides the term   [tex]12x^{7}[/tex] gives the other terms as quotient with no remainder.

  • Melodie factored   [tex]12x^{7}[/tex] as (2x^6) (6x).

This is absolutely correct because the terms  (2x^6) and 6x if multiplied gives  [tex]12x^{7}[/tex].

And if any of these terms divides the term   [tex]12x^{7}[/tex] gives the other terms as quotient with no remainder.

From here we can conclude that Both Ibuki and Melodie have correctly factored  [tex]12x^{7}[/tex].
