Answer:

Explanation:

Factor 6f3−8f2+20−15f

6f^3−8f^3−15f

=(3f−4)(2f2−5)

Answer:

(3f−4)(2f^2−5)

Find the group you want to factor, such as in the first parenthesis, you remove 3f from the whole equation, and end up with 3f-4. You take the end value, and group it with -5. You will then end up with 2f^2 -5.

Hope this Helps!
