Write this trinomial in factored form. 3b^2+b-14

Mathematics

1 answer:

Makovka662 [10]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

(b - 2)(3b + 7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the b² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the b- term

product = 3 × - 14 = - 42 and sum = + 1

The factors are - 6 and + 7

Use these factors to split the b- term

3b² - 6b + 7b - 14 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

= 3b(b - 2) + 7(b - 2) ← factor out (b - 2) from each term

= (b - 2)(3b + 7) ← in factored form

According to the Rational Root Theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x) = 15x11 – 6x8 + x3 – 4x + 3?

scoundrel [369]

we have

$f(x) = 15x^{11} -6x^{8} + x^{3} - 4x + 3$

we know that

<u>The Rational Root Theorem</u> states that when a root 'x' is written as a fraction in lowest terms

$x=\frac{p}{q}$

p is an integer factor of the constant term, and q is an integer factor of the coefficient of the first monomial.

in this problem

the constant term is equal to $3$

and the first monomial is equal to $15x^{11}$ -----> coefficient is $15$

possible values of p are $1, and\ 3$

possible values of q are $1, 3, 5, and\ 15$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

The all potential rational roots of f(x) are

(+/-) $\frac{1}{15}$ ,(+/-) $\frac{1}{5}$ ,(+/-) $\frac{1}{3}$ ,(+/-) $\frac{3}{5}$ ,(+/-) $1$ ,(+/-) $3$

The algebra tiles represent the perfect square trinomial x2 10x c. what is the value of c? c =

devlian [24]

The value of c for which the considered trinomial becomes perfect square trinomial is: 20 or -20

<h3>What are perfect squares trinomials?</h3>

They are those expressions which are found by squaring binomial expressions.

Since the given trinomials are with degree 2, thus, if they are perfect square, the binomial which was used to make them must be linear.

Let the binomial term was ax + b(a linear expression is always writable in this form where a and b are constants and m is a variable), then we will obtain:

$(ax + b)^2 = a^2x^2 + b^2 + 2abx$
