If you have a quadratic equation in the form ax^2+bx+c
Step 1) Determine the product of AC (the coefficients in a quadratic equation)
Step 2) Determine what factors of a⋅ca⋅c sum to bb
Step 3) "ungroup" the middle term to become the sum of the factors found in step 2
Step 4) group the pairs.
Find the possible rational roots and use synthetic division to find the first zero.
I chose x=1 (which represents the factor "x-1")
1║2 -7 -13 63 -45
║ 2 -5 -18 45
2 -5 -18 45 0
(x-1) is a factor, (2x³ - 5x² - 18x + 45) is the other factor.
Use synthetic division on the decomposed polynomial to find the next zero.
I chose x = 3 (which represents the factor "x-3")
3║2 -5 -18 45
║ 6 3 -45
2 1 -15 0
Using synthetic division, we discovered that (x-1), (x-3), & (2x² + x -15) are factors. Take the new decomposed polynomial (2x² + x -15) and find the last two factors using any method.
Final Answer: (x-1)(x-3)(x+3)(2x-5)
Hi! I'm Carriyana!! Glad to help you today! :)
Cole needs to work 28 hrs!!
My steps:
First I did 500/20 and got 25
Then I did 700/25
And ended up with 28
So the answer should be...
<h3>~28 hrs!~</h3>
