Question

3x^2-3x-18

Pls helppp show work

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can factor out a common factor of 3 from the expression:

3(x^2 - x - 6)

Then we can factor the quadratic trinomial inside the parentheses using the fact that the product of the constant term and the leading coefficient is -6*1 = -6 and the sum of the roots is -(-1) = 1:

3(x - 3)(x + 2)

Therefore, the fully factored form of the expression is:

3(x - 3)(x + 2)
