Lucas and erick are factoring the polynomial
12x3 – 6x2 + 8x – 4. lucas groups the polynomial (12x3 + 8x) + (–6x2 – 4) to factor. erick groups the polynomial (12x3 – 6x2) + (8x – 4) to factor. who correctly grouped the terms to factor? explain.

Both students are correct because polynomials can be grouped in different ways to factor. Both ways result in a common binomial factor between the groups. Using the distributive property , this common binomial term can be factored out. Each grouping results in the same two binomial factors.

Step-by-step explanation:

your answer is the last one

step-by-step explanation:

divide the length of a'c' by the length of ac to get a scale factor of two

& then reflect vertically (over the y-axis)

so your answer is dilation by a scale factor of 2 followed by reflection over the y-axis
