Identify Common Factors: Look for common factors in each pair of terms.We can pair the terms as (3t3+6t2) and (7t+14) to look for common factors.
Factor First Pair: Factor out the common factor from the first pair of terms.The common factor in 3t3 and 6t2 is 3t2.3t3+6t2=3t2(t+2)
Factor Second Pair: Factor out the common factor from the second pair of terms.The common factor in 7t and 14 is 7.7t+14=7(t+2)
Write Down Findings: Write down what we have found so far.We have:3t3+6t2=3t2(t+2)7t+14=7(t+2)Now, we can see that (t+2) is a common factor.
Factor Out Common Factor: Factor out the common factor (t+2) from the entire expression.We can write the original expression as:3t3+6t2+7t+14=3t2(t+2)+7(t+2)Now, factor out (t+2):3t3+6t2+7t+14=(t+2)(3t2+7)
