Question

Factor completely, then place the answer in the proper location on the grid. Write the answer in descending powers of
a.

4a4 + 6a3b2 + 2a2b3

Answer 1

$4⋅a4+6⋅a3⋅b2+2⋅a2⋅b3$

$2a {}^{2} (2a {}^{2} +3ab {}^{2} +b {}^{3} )$

Just factor the common term

Answer 2

Answer:

2a2(2a2 +3ab^2 + b3)

Step-by-step explanation:

4a4 + 6a3b2 + 2a2b3

The Greatest Common Factor = 2a2, so factoring:

= 2a2(2a2 +3ab^2 + b3)
