6(x+h)^2 Where do you factor in the 6?

Question

This is driving me crazy. I haven't taken math for 3 years and I forget if the 6 is factored in more than once.

Answer 1

Huh? It's already factorised... You can't factorise this further...

I hope that helps. :)

Answer 2

6(x+h)^2

=6(x+h)(x+h)

=6(x^2 + 2xh + h^2)

=6x^2 + 12xh + 6h^2

You factor the six in only once, and only after solving the square.

Answer 3

6(x+h)^2

6(x^2+2xh+h^2)

6x^2+12xh+6h^2
