3x to the second power,minus 15x plus 18 is????

2 answers

3x^2 - 15x + 18
do you need to factor this??? if so,
first since the numerical coefficients (the number before the variable x) are all multiples of 3, we can factor out 3:
3(x^2 - 5x +6)
then we factor the term inside the parenthesis:
3(x-2)(x-3)

hope this helps~ :)
