Question

Factories 24x^2-41x+12

Answer 1

Answer:

(3x - 4)(8x - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 24 × 12 and sum = - 41

The required factors are - 32 and - 9

Use these factors to split the x- term

24x² - 32x - 9x + 12 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 8x(3x - 4) - 3(3x - 4) ← factor out (3x - 4) from each term

= (3x - 4)(8x - 3) ← in factored form
