Factor completely

Solution

The factored form of the expression is:

1.5(13x123x+4+x12(3x+4)12)1.5 \left( \frac{1}{3} x^{-\frac{1}{2}} \sqrt{3x + 4} + x^{\frac{1}{2}} (3x + 4)^{-\frac{1}{2}} \right)

This is the simplest form after factoring. Let me know if you'd like further explanation or details on any part of this!
