Tabitha Robles · Answer 1

Question 1: Option C, 2x^2 (x - 3) (x^2 + 3x + 9)

Question 2: Options 1, 2, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Question #3

Step 1: Factor

2x^5 - 54x^2

2x^2 (x^3 - 27)

2x^2 (x - 3) (x^2 + 3x + 9)

Answer: Option C, 2x^2 (x - 3) (x^2 + 3x + 9)

Question #2

p (x) = 4x^6 + 32x^3

Step 1: Factor

4x^6 + 32x^3

4x^3 (x^3 + 8)

4x^3 (x + 2) (x^2 - 2x + 4)

Answer: Options 1, 2, 5
