Question

What is the factored form of 8x2 + 12x?

Answer 1

Answer: 4x(2x+3).

Step-by-step explanation: To factor a number means to break it up into numbers that can be multiplied together to get the original number. In the given problem, we can factorize the expression by taking out a common factor, in this case 4x:

`8x^(2) +12x=`

`4x(2x+3)`

as we can see, if we multiply 4x*(2x+3) we obtain the original expression.

Answer 2

`4x(2x + 3)`

Explanation:

We have the expression

`8x^2 + 12x`

and we must factor it

Note that the expression has no independent term

Then we can factor the expression by taking the variable 4x as a common factor

`8x^2 + 12x`

`4x(2x + 3)`

Finally the factored form of
`8x^2 + 12x` is
`4x(2x + 3)`
