Question

Use the grouping method to factor the polynomial below completely.
3x3 + 9x2 + 4x + 12
O A. (3.2 + 4)(x+4)
O B. (3x2+3)(x + 4)
O c. (3x2 + 4)(x+3)
O D. (3x + 3)(x+3)​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. (3x^2+4)(x+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x^3+9x^2+4x+12

=(3x^3+9x^2)+(4x+12)

=3x^2(x+3)+4(x+3)

=(3x^2+4)(x+3)

Therefore, C. (3x^2+4)(x+3)
