How do you factor 3(2x-1)^2 (2) (x+3)^(1/2) + (2x-1)^3 (1/2) (x+3)^(-1/2)3(2x1)2(2)(x+3)12+(2x1)3(12)(x+3)12?

(7(2x-1)^2 (2x+5))/(2(x+3)^(1/2))7(2x1)2(2x+5)2(x+3)12

Explanation:

Take out common factor (2x-1)^2(2x1)2 and simplify,

(2x-1)^2 {6(x+3)^(1/2) + (2x-1)/(2(x+3)^(1/2)}}(2x1)2{6(x+3)12+2x12(x+3)12}

(2x-1)^2{(12x+36 +2x-1)/(2(x+3)^(1/2)}}(2x1)2{12x+36+2x12(x+3)12}

((2x-1)^2 (14x+35))/(2(x+3)^(1/2))(2x1)2(14x+35)2(x+3)12

(7(2x-1)^2 (2x+5))/(2(x+3)^(1/2))7(2x1)2(2x+5)2(x+3)12
