  1. Analyze Will's factorization: Analyze Will's factorization.\newlineWill factored 7x67x^{6} as (3x2)(4x4)(3x^{2})(4x^{4}). To check if this is correct, we multiply the factors together.\newline(3x2)(4x4)=12x2+4=12x6(3x^{2})(4x^{4}) = 12x^{2+4} = 12x^{6}.\newlineThis is not equal to 7x67x^{6} because the coefficient is 1212 instead of 77.
