Step-by-step explanation:
Well there is no exact answer
The only step that arena make wrong is step number 2
Answer: 5 • (2x2 - 17x - 2)
———————————————————
x - 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
Step 2 :
10x2 - 85x - 10
Simplify ———————————————
x - 8
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
10x2 - 85x - 10 = 5 • (2x2 - 17x - 2)
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.2 Factoring 2x2 - 17x - 2
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -17x its coefficient is -17 .
The last term, "the constant", is -2
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -2 = -4
Step-2 : Find two factors of -4 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -17 .
-4 + 1 = -3
-2 + 2 = 0
-1 + 4 = 3
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
3x^2+ 2x -18x -12
= (3x^2+ 2x) -(18x+ 12)
= x(3x+ 2) -6(3x+ 2)
= (3x+2)(x-6)
Final answer: (3x+2)(x-6)
