Question Help! Factor the trinomial completely. x squared + 2x -8

1 answer:

5 0

X^2 + 2x -8
The factors of 8 are 2 and 4, and to get 2x we need 2 and 4 to either add up to or subtract to result in 2.
4 - 2 = 2. We also know this is right because 4 x -2 = -8. So the answer is:
(x + 4)(x - 2)

Y= -3x^2-24x-46 write in vertex form

mario62 [17]

ANSWER

$y= -3{(x + 4)}^{2} + 2$

EXPLANATION

The given function is:

$y= -3x^2-24x-46$

Factor -3 for the first 2 terms.

$y= -3(x^2 + 8x)-46$

We add and subtract the square of the coefficient of x.

$y= -3(x^2 + 8x + {(4)}^{2} ) - - 3( {4)}^{2} -46$

Factor the perfect square trinomial.

$y= -3 {(x + 4)}^{2} ) + 48 -46$

The vertex form is:

$y= -3{(x + 4)}^{2} + 2$
