So basically I have a mechanics A level tomorrow. And its all great except for one question i've been practising. Was wondering if any of you guys could help.
So i get as far as this:
t(3t^4 - 4t^2 + 15)
And according to the mark scheme i'm supposed to get
t[(3t^2 - 5)(t^2 -3)]
But i have no idea how to get there? It's obviously some form of factorising or completing a square but im just stuck.. Help would be greatly appreciated :)

Wow factor

Are you sure it's not : t(3t^4 -4t^2 -15) And: t[(3t^2 + 5)(t^2 - 3)] If so, I can explain it to you

OMG are you THAT dense??? the answer is OP = FGTX420

I'm not really sure why you can't get the answer from looking at it. It's fairly obvious from what I can tell.

Factor.

You need to factorise
