Question

Factor 3h2 – 11h - 42

Answer 1

The answer is D
3*-42=-126
The factors of -126 that add to -11 are 7 and -18
replace -11h with 7h-18h
3h^2 + 7h - 18h - 42
Factor the first two terms and last two terms
h(3h+7) - 6(3h+7)
See how the two parentheses are the same?
THE ANSWER IS BELOW!!
(h-6)(3h+7)
the first parentheses has the terms that were outside, and the second has the original bracketed terms
This matches option D (it just multiplies the terms backwards, which gives the same result)

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option D. (3h + 7)(h – 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given a quadratic function ,

3h² - 11h - 42

To find the factors of given function

3h² - 11h - 42  = 3h² - 18h  + 7h - 42

 = 3h(h -6) + 7(h - 6)

 =(h - 6)(3h + 7)

 = (3h + 7)(h – 6)

The correct answer is option D. (3h + 7)(h – 6)
