Factor. 9t^3 - 18t^2 + 2t - 4 ______

Factorize cubic polynomial: Write the factored form of 9t^3 - 18t^2. Factor out 9t^2 from 9t^3 and 18t^2. 9t^3 - 18t^2 = 9t^2(t - 2)Factorize linear polynomial: Write the factored form of 2t - 4. Factor out 2 from 2t and 4. 2t - 4 = 2(t - 2)Combine factorized polynomials: We found: 9t^3 - 18t^2 = 9t^2(t - 2) 2t - 4 = 2(t - 2) Write the factored form of 9t^3 - 18t^2 + 2t - 4. Factor out (t - 2) from 9t^2(t - 2) and 2(t - 2). So, the factored form of 9t^3 - 18t^2 + 2t - 4 is (9t^2 + 2)(t - 2).

9t^3 - 18t^2 + 2t - 4

Factorize cubic polynomial: Write the factored form of $9t^3 - 18t^2$ . $\newline$ Factor out $9t^2$ from $9t^3$ and $18t^2$ . $\newline$ $9t^3 - 18t^2 = 9t^2(t - 2)$
Factorize linear polynomial: Write the factored form of $2t - 4$ . Factor out $2$ from $2t$ and $4$ . $2t - 4 = 2(t - 2)$
Combine factorized polynomials: We found: $\newline$ $9t^3 - 18t^2 = 9t^2(t - 2)$ $\newline$ $2t - 4 = 2(t - 2)$ $\newline$ Write the factored form of $9t^3 - 18t^2 + 2t - 4$ . $\newline$ Factor out $(t - 2)$ from $9t^2(t - 2)$ and $2(t - 2)$ . $\newline$ So, the factored form of $9t^3 - 18t^2 + 2t - 4$ is $(9t^2 + 2)(t - 2)$ .
