Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the CoefficientsConcise Step Description: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic expression, which are the numbers in front of the variables. In this case, the coefficients are 12, 17, and 6.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 12, 17, 6Step Output: Coefficients: 12, 17, 6
Find Factors: Step Title: Find the FactorsConcise Step Description: Find two numbers that multiply to the product of the first and last coefficients 12×6=72 and add to the middle coefficient 17.Step Calculation: Factors of 72 that add up to 17 are 8 and 9.Step Output: Factors: 8, 9
Rewrite Middle Term: Step Title: Rewrite the Middle TermConcise Step Description: Rewrite the middle term using the factors found in the previous step.Step Calculation: 12x2+8x+9x+6Step Output: Rewritten Expression: 12x2+8x+9x+6
Factor by Grouping: Step Title: Factor by GroupingConcise Step Description: Group the terms into two pairs and factor out the common factor from each pair.Step Calculation: (12x2+8x)+(9x+6)=4x(3x+2)+3(3x+2)Step Output: Grouped Factors: 4x(3x+2)+3(3x+2)
Factor Out Common Binomial: Step Title: Factor Out the Common BinomialConcise Step Description: Factor out the common binomial factor from the grouped terms.Step Calculation: (4x+3)(3x+2)Step Output: Factored Form: (4x+3)(3x+2)
