What is 12x^3 - 9x^2 - 4x + 3 in factored form?

(4x-3) (3x²-1)

Step 1:Equation at the end of step 1 : (((12 • (x3)) - 32x2) - 4x) - 3

Step 2 : Equation at the end of step 2 : (((22•3x3) - 32x2) - 4x) - 3 Step 3 : Checking for a perfect cube:

3.1 12x3-9x2-4x-3 is not a perfect cube

Trying to factor by pulling out:

3.2 Factoring: 12x3-9x2-4x-3

Thoughtfully split the expression at hand into groups, each group having two terms:

Group 1: - 4x-3

Group 2: 12x3-9x2

Pull out from each group separately:

Group 1: (4x+3) • (-1)

Group 2: (4x-3) • (3x2)
