Question

Is the polynomial 3x2(x2 + 2x + 1) completely factored? If not, factor it.

A.no; 3x2(x + 1)(x + 2)
B.true
C.no; 3x2(x + 1)(x − 1)
D.no; 3x2 (x + 1)2

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have the following polynomial:
3x2 (x2 + 2x + 1)
We observe that the polynomial is not completely factored.
The expression in parentheses can be factored.
We then have to rewrite:
3x2 ((x + 1) (x + 1))
3x ^ 2 (x + 1) ^ 2
Answer:
D.no; 3x2 (x + 1) 2
