How do you factor this? -Algebra 1?

Question

3x^2 - 9x

Do you have to do anything "special" because of the exponent?

Answer 1

3x ( x - 3 )

Answer 2

Take 3x outside

you get 3x[x-3]

Answer 3

just factor out common factors: 3x(x - 3)

cheers,

Answer 4

In this expression 3x² - 9x, check what is common for both terms 3x² and -9x. You'll find that '3x' is common here. So, from the expression 3x² - 9x, take 3x commonly out from it. By doing this, you get:

3x (x - 3x)..... Hope that helped !!!

Answer 5

You don't really do anything special with the exponent.

Im pretty sure you just factor whats it common.

Your answer would be

3x(x-3)

I haven't done any math work in about 4 months but it was my best subject.

Answer 6

Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) = 3x

Therefore: 3x^2 - 9x

= 3x(x - 3)
