Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored

</span><span>Step 2 :</span>Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
<span> 2.1 </span> Factoring <span> 6x2-x-4</span>
The first term is, <span> <span>6x2</span> </span> its coefficient is <span> 6 </span>.
The middle term is, <span> -x </span> its coefficient is <span> -1 </span>.
The last term, "the constant", is <span> -4 </span>
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant <span> <span> 6</span> • -4 = -24</span>
Step-2 : Find two factors of -24 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is <span> -1 </span>.
<span><span> -24 + 1 = -23</span><span> -12 + 2 = -10</span><span> -8 + 3 = -5</span><span> -6 + 4 = -2</span><span> -4 + 6 = 2</span><span> -3 + 8 = 5</span><span> -2 + 12 = 10</span><span> -1 + 24 = 23

To answer this question, you need to know how many drops go into atheism test tube.
Each drop is 1/8 milliliter. The test tube is 30 milliliter.
So, divide 30 by 1/8 to see how many times 1/8 goes into 30.
30 divided by 1/8 = 30 times 8 = 240
It takes 240 drops (that's a lot!) to fill up the test tube.
Hope this helps!
