what is the fully factored form of 32a3 12a2? 4a2(8a 3) 4a(8a2 3a) 12a2(3a 1) 12a(3a2 a)
we have
\(32a^{3}+12a^{2}\)
Find the greatest Common Factor GCF
we know that
\(32=2^{5} \\ Factors=1,2,4,8,16,32\\ \\ a^{3} \\ Factors=1,a,a^{2} ,a^{3} \\ \\ 12=2^{2} *3\\ Factors=1,2,3,4,6,12\\ \\ a^{2} \\ Factors=1,a,a^{2}\)
The GCF is equal to \(4a^{2}\)
so
the fully factored form is equal to
\(32a^{3}+ 12a^{2}=4a^{2}(8a+3)\)
the answer is
\(4a^{2}(8a+3)\)
