Question

Factor completely the polynomial. Please help ASAP!
6x^2-4x^3+10x^4

Answer 1

Hi there!

`\large\boxed{2x^(2)(5x^(2) - 2x + 3)}`

`6x^(2) -4x^(3) + 10x^(4)`

Rearrange from highest to lowest degree:

`10x^(4) - 4x^(3) + 6x^(2)`

Factor out the GCF, or 2x²:

`2x^(2)(5x^(2) - 2x + 3)`

This is the farthest that the polynomial can be simplified. The terms inside of the parenthesis cannot be factored further. (b² - 4ac < 0)
