Answer:
[tex](a^2+ 3)(b + 2)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
factor [tex]a^2b + 2a^2 + 3b + 6[/tex]
To factor this we apply grouping method
we group first two terms and last two terms. then we factor out GCF from each group.
[tex](a^2b + 2a^2) + (3b + 6)[/tex]
Take out GCF from each group
[tex]a^2(b + 2) + 3(b + 2)[/tex]
Now factor out b+2
[tex](a^2+ 3)(b + 2)[/tex]
