Astudent factors 3x2 – 12 to the following. 3(x2 – 4). which statement about 3(x2 – 4) is true? a) the expression is equivalent, and it is completely factored. b) the expression is equivalent, but it is not completely factored. c) the expression is not equivalent, but it is completely factored. d) the expression is not equivalent, and it is not completely factored.

Answer : B) The expression is equivalent, but it is not completely factored.

A student factors to the following .

is equivalent to because we factored out 3.

If we multiply 3 inside the parenthesis then we will get same expression

   can be factored further.

So  is not completely factored.

start with a line segment pq that we will copy. mark a point r that will be one endpoint of the new line segment. set the compasses' point on the point p of the line segment to be copied. adjust the compasses' width to the point q. the compasses' width is now equal to the length of the line segment pq.
