Question

How do you factor `4x^5 + 6x3 + 6x^2 + 9`?

Answer 1

`(2x^3+3)(2x^2+3)`

Explanation:

Factor by grouping
Put parenthesis around two first and last terms
`(4x^5+6x^3)+(6x^2+9)`
Factor out gcf
`2x^3(2x^2+3)+3(2x^2+3)`
If you did it right the parenthesis should be same so you can cross one out and make a new parenthesis with the two terms you factored out
`(2x^3+3)(2x^2+3)`
This is more concept than logic so don't mind the addition sign in between
