Question

Factor completely, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write the answer in descending powers of

a.

4a4 + 6a3b2 + 2a2b3

Answer 1

2a2(2a2 +3ab^2 + b3)

Explanation:

4a4 + 6a3b2 + 2a2b3

The Greatest Common Factor = 2a2, so factoring:

= 2a2(2a2 +3ab^2 + b3)

Answer 2

`4⋅a4+6⋅a3⋅b2+2⋅a2⋅b3`

`2a {}^(2) (2a {}^(2) +3ab {}^(2) +b {}^(3) )`

Just factor the common term
