Answer
not factorable
Work Step by Step
In decreasing order of exponents, the given expression, $
6+p^2+2p
,$ is equivalent to
\begin{array}{l}
p^2+2p+6
.\end{array}
There are no 2 numbers whose product is $ac=
1(6)=6
$ and whose sum is $b=
2
$ in the expression above. Hence, the given expression is $\text{
not factorable
.}$
