Answer:

The answer to your question is 9. (2x - 3)(3x - 4) 10. (x + 4)²

Explanation:

9. 6x² - 17x + 12

-Multiply 6 by 12 and find the prime factors of the result

6 x 12 = 72

72 2

36 2

18 2

9 3

3 3

1

-Find two numbers that added gives -17

-These numbers are -8 and -9

-Substitution

6x² - 9x - 8x + 12

-Factor by grouping

3x(2x - 3) - 4(2x - 3)

(2x - 3)(3x - 4)

10. x² + 8x + 16

-Find two numbers that added gives 8 and multiply gives 16

-These numbers are 4 and 4

-Factor like a perfect square trinomial
