A) $( 3 x - t ) ( 4 x - 3 t )$
B) $( 12 x + t ) ( x + 3 t )$
C) Prime
D) $( 3 x + t ) ( 4 x + 3 t )$

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct factorization of $12x^2 + 13xt + 3t^2$ is $(3x + t)(4x + 3t)$. This can be determined by finding factors of $12x^2$ and $3t^2$ that when multiplied and added together give the middle term, $13xt$.
