Factor.
-$$3 x ^ { 8 } - 15 x ^ { 7 } + 18 x ^ { 6 }$$
A) $3 x ^ { 6 } ( x + 3 ) ( x + 2 )$
B) $3 x ^ { 6 } ( x + 3 ) ( x - 2 )$
C) $3 x ^ { 6 } ( x - 3 ) ( x + 2 )$
D) $3 x ^ { 6 } ( x - 3 ) ( x - 2 )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The expression can be factored by taking out the greatest common factor, $3x^6$, resulting in $3x^6(x^2 - 5x + 6)$. Further factoring $x^2 - 5x + 6$ gives $(x - 3)(x - 2)$.
