Answer:

x = -2/3; x = 5/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

6x 2 - 11x - 10 = 0

Use the 'ac' method:

6 * -10 = -60. We need 2 numbers whose product is -60 and whose sum is -11.

That would be -15 and +4. So we write:

6x^2 - 15x + 4x - 10 = 0 Factor by grouping:

3x(2x - 5) + 2(2x - 5) = 0

(3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 0

x = -2/3; x = 5/2.

Two students, Carlos and Sophie, factored the trinomial -4x2 − 10x + 6. Sophie factored it as -2(2x − 1)(x + 3) and Carlos facto

damaskus [11]

Sophie has factored the term completely while Carlos has not factored the term completely.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the trinomial:

$-4x^2-10x + 6$

Factoring:

$-4x^2-10x + 6\\Taking\,\,-2\,\,common:\\-2(2x^2+5x-3)\\Now\,\,factoring:\\-2(2x^2+6x-x-3)\\-2(2x(x+3)-1(x+3))\\-2(2x-1)(x+3)$

So, the factored form of $-4x^2-10x + 6$ is $-2(2x-1)(x+3)$

So, Sophie has factored the term completely. The terms are factored when we cannot further simplify it. Since Carlos factored (x+3)(-4x+2) 2 can be taken common from the term (-4x+2) so, it is not factored completely.

liq [111]

(-1)(-2-c)

multiply -1 to both -2 & -c

-1 x -2 = 2
-1 x -c = c

2 + c is your answer
