Answer

$3x^2(3x+4)(5x+4)$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $3x^2(3x+4)^2+x^3\cdot 2(3x+4)\cdot 3$ $=3x^2(3x+4)^2+6x^3(3x+4)$ Factor out $3x^2(3x+4)$. $=3x^2(3x+4)[(3x+4)+2x]$ $=3x^2(3x+4)[3x+4+2x]$ Add like terms. $=3x^2(3x+4)(5x+4)$ Hence, the completely factored form of the given expression is $3x^2(3x+4)(5x+4)$.
