The correct response is:
no; 2 can be factored from each term of the trinomial AND the resulting trinomial can be factored into two binomials.
So the factored form would be:
x(2(2x^2 + 4x + 3)) = x(2x + 3)(x + 1)
Is x(4x2+8x+6)
completely factored? If not, how else can it be factored?

AAAaannndd the bot gets it wrong yet again!
x(4x2+8x+6) = 2x(2x^2+4x+3)
the discriminant of the quadratic is negative, so it cannot be factored.
x(4x2+8x+6) = 2x(2x^2+4x+3)
the discriminant of the quadratic is negative, so it cannot be factored.
