Question

Factor the polynomial completely. 4x3 – 12x2 + 7x – 21 4x2(x – 3) + 7(x – 3) Which is the completely factored polynomial? 4x2(x + 4) 3x2(x – 3) (4x2 – 7)(x + 3) (4x2 + 7)(x – 3)

Answer 1

regroup: (4x³-12x²)+(7x-21)
factor: 4x²(x-3)+7(x-3)
factor again: (x-3)(4x²+7)

Answer 2

The correct answer for this problem would be D. (4x^2 + 7)(x – 3) .

Hope this helps and clears up any confusion!
