Question

Factor the polynomial completely. 12a4b2 – 18a3b2

Answer 1

6a^3b^2(2a - 3).

Explanation:

12a4b2 – 18a3b2

The GCF is 6a^3b^2 so dividing each term by this we get the second factor, so the answer is:

6a^3b^2(2a - 3).

Answer 2

After factoring 12a^4b^2 – 18a^3b^2 the answer is :6a^3b^2(2a-3)

Explanation:

We need to factor the polynomial:

12a^4b^2 – 18a^3b^2

Finding the common terms if any in the given polynomial.

6a^3b^2 is common in both the terms

Taking 6a^3b^2 common from above polynomial:

6a^3b^2(2a-3)

Since the above term cannot be more factored

so, After factoring 12a^4b^2 – 18a^3b^2 the answer is :6a^3b^2(2a-3)
