Question

Can someone help me with how to do this equation:


`{12x}^(2) + 4x`
​

Answer 1

4x(3x+1)

Explanation:

12x^2+4x

apply the exponent rule

=12xx+4x

rewrite 12 as 4*3

=4*3xx+4x

factor out the common term 4x

4x(3x+1)

Answer 2

`4x(3x+1)`

Explanation:

We need to apply the exponent rule:
`a^(b+c)=a^ba^c`

`x^2=xx`

`12xx+4x`

Rewrite
`12` as
`4* 3` and
`4` as
`4* 1`

`4* \:3xx+4* \:1* \:x`

Now, Factor out common term
`4x`

`4x\left(3x+1\right)`
