Algebra-1

To factor the polynomial 12p³ + 36p² + 36p + 108, let's follow the factor by grouping method:

Step 1: Group the terms: (12p³ + 36p²) + (36p + 108)

Step 2: Factor out the common factor from each group:
In the first group, we can factor out 12p²: 12p²(p + 3).
In the second group, we can factor out 36: 36(p + 3).

Now, we have: 12p²(p + 3) + 36(p + 3)
