Factor the expression 6g^2+11g-35

Answer:

(3g-5)(2g+7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Compare

6g^2+11g-35 to

ag^2+bg+c.

We should see that a=6, b=11,c=-35.

It these is factoable over the rationals we should be able to find two numbers that multiply to be ac and add up to be b.

ac=6(-35)

b=11

Now I really don't want to actually find the product of 6(-35). I'm just going to play with the factors until I see a pair that adds up to 11.

6(-35)

30(-7)  Moved a factor of 5 around.

10(-21) Moved a factor of 3 around.

10 and -21 is almost it.  We just need to switch where the negative is because we want a sum of 11 when we add the numbers (not -11).

So b=-10+21 and ac=-10*21.

We are going to replace b in

6g^2+11g-35

with -10+21.

We can do this because 11 is -10+21.

Let's do it.

6g^2+(-10+21)g-35

6g^2+-10g+21g-35

Now we are going to factor the first two terms together and the second two terms together.

Like so:

(6g^2-10g)+(21g-35)

We are going to factor what we can from each pair.

2g(3g-5)+7(3g-5)

There are two terms both of these terms have a common factor of (3g-5) so we can factor it out:

(3g-5)(2g+7)

Find x such that x - 4, x, and 3x - 8 are three consecutive terms in a geometric sequence
Nitella [24]
In a geometric sequence dividing any term by the term before it yields the common multiplier.
Then x/(x+8) = (3x-8)/x
Solving for x:  reduces to x^2-10x +16 factor into (x-2)(x-8)
Then x = 2 or 8
2 produces a sequence of -2, 2, -2 ...
8 produces a sequence of 4, 8, 16 ...
